This one was from a challenge on another site. To write a poem with the title herein. Hidden Corners of My Mind Virginia Salter a secret place, from friends and lovers, even kin don’t know what’s there and quite often, it’s my endeavor to keep it hidden from my own care to ignore the needs that dwell within the recesses deep in folds to place walls that bar my vision denying grips that grab to hold for if I know not what needs attention it can’t plague me hour by hour then perhaps my “Pollyanna” can see rainbows in a shower as I venture keeping burdens secreted deep in a vault I may entertain the notion what goes wrong’s just not my fault if errant ways don’t show their faces how might anyone yell, “Shame!” so I’ll claim there are no traces of that which I’d be given blame yet there is One of great omniscience that sees beyond my foolish tries even those I feed my conscience attempting hide what therein lies so then with humble adoration I relent my inane ways and in deep prayer of supplication I give to Him past/future days © September 13, 2000 |
