Distant Thoughts

I cannot concentrate, my mind wandering This day, my heart has been unsettled The secret that I must carry 'round with me Plays upon my mind and will not set me free Here among the trees, breeze rustling the leaves Laughter comes to me, calling from the past The seasons have come and gone along the way Yet I will keep my secret, forever and a day 5/27/14

Excellent, Barbara, well-put with a sense of pain but determination still to not muddy the waters. Concentration of the mind would be increasingly distracted if the secret were let out...best leave well-enough alone. Congratulations are in order and welcomed I am sure.
