SECRET PLACES

I AM PRETTY SURE THIS ONLY SPEAKS TO CHILDHOOD..BUT, I AM NOT POSITIVE IN THAT.  WHAT WERE SECRET PLACES AND WHY?,  IN OUR VULNERABLE YEARS, WHEN THE ADULT WORLD RULED OUR FIRST EXPOSURES, IN SOME PRIMORDIAL WAY, WE PERCEIVED WE NEEDED A HIDING PLACE... A PLACE ALL OUR OWN... ALTHOUGH WE COULD NOT ARTICULATE IT AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE, YET, LIFE  SEEMED TO MUCH TOO FAST IN SOME CASES.....SOME OF US RECOGNIZED SPECIAL PEOPLE.....WE LEARNED TO SAY MAMMA AND DADDY....THEY SEEMED TO COME AND GO, AND IN SOME CASES THEY WENT AWAY...WE LOOKED FOR WARMTH, THAT WHICH BECKONED WITH LOVING ARMS.... A BUSH TO PLAY UNDER, OUR BUSH, AND NO ONE KNEW...IN SOME CASES, LONLINESS BECAME OUR BEST FRIEND....WE LEARNED THAT THE PRESENCE IN LONLINESS WAS THE BEST DISCOVERY IN LIFE.....THE HALLOWED HALLS OF THOSE AGO..WHOSE VOICES STILL SING FOR EARS ATTUNED.  NOTHING DEAR REALLY GOES AWAY...WE JUST HAVE TO FIND IT.....
