I hide from life but in plain sight,
I'm here but always there.
It's day but I inhabit night,
Safe hid from daytime glare.

Quiet is where I roam content,
Amongst life's happy noise.
With inconspicuous intent,
It's here I find my poise.

In thought is where I daily live,
Amongst familiar places.
From all an abiding fugitive,
Lost in mind's hermit spaces.
