There’s a secret in a corner
in a place that’s in between,
where we wonder at the silence
of a moment that begins
in the midst of recklessness.
Full of fear and doubt
at the illusion of a peace,
that is nebulous as mist
in the tendrils of a dream,
we lose ourselves to turmoil.
The relief of a smile
brings release from indecision
even as confusion rocks desire,
uncertainty becomes understanding
and leads to acceptance.
There’s a secret in a corner
in a place that’s in between,
where we escape from what is done
leaving reason to its fate
and imagine what can be.

Wow – I love the mystery, secrecy and sense of conflicted inner dialogue. Stunning as ever, Sara! xxx #theprompt
Ah, thank you Leigh :) I really enjoyed writing this one x
I love this. I cannot fully grasp its meaning – I am not good at deciphering poetry. However, I love your wordplay.
Thank you Astrid, this one ended up a little more cryptic than some!
This is lovely, I had to read it a couple of times and I like the fact it is so mysterious. It allows me to think as the reader. I really do love the flow of the lines ‘There’s a secret in a corner, In a place that’s in between’, I like the beat of these words x #Prose4T
Thank you, it was one that seemed to write itself and I think it’s reflective of a corner in me that feels unsure. Maybe!
I love this. Just love it. The words weave such a wonderful web of intrigue. Thank you so much for linking to Prose for Thought x
