Secret

Looking through a gate
I see
A secret
A place of refuge
A gem
Hidden from open view
A sanctuary
An escape
From the tedium of living
Lightened
And enlightening
Filling
Wearly mind with peace
A hope
A tomorrow
Instilling dreams
Into
A Mind
Emptied
Of today's questions
Of yesterday's cares
Of a lifetime's weights
Looking
I step forward
With trepidation

And enter
