This is your quiet, secret place — your place of power, where you can return.
Do you remember the path you once followed to get there?
Or do you hold a secret image in your mind,
a memory of serenity that slowly loses its sharp contours
yet remains with you on the level of sensation —
and you begin to wonder:
did it ever truly exist, or is it just a chimera?
Perhaps it's time to set out in search of a new place,
one that will embrace you like a mother —
a mother you had lost, and now find again.
