Notes About The Poem

A Secret Kept

A Secret Kept for John Lawless

Deep within those grooves of mind's gray matter
In Shadows deep where fears and whispers creep
Emotions fall, covered deep, hold chatter
Where tales were spun, now secrets to keep

Emotions pressed down tightly sealed away
A door once locked, now cracked, worn out and serrated
Truth hidden, packed tightly, out of sight stays
Locked doors hold back secrets that are bated

With my every sigh zephyr calmly sweep
A skeletal key's rustic charm unlocks
Though hidden away where this world can't peep
There is nothing that can the groove unblock

Listen closely to this secret that's kept
He made me feel that I did it while I slept

Bj Legros Kelley November 17, 2025 at 2:03 AM It is good to know that our Lord can unlock the secrets of our heart and heal the pain. We have an advocate in heaven, we can always trust. Unfortunately, people are prone to gossip and sometimes twist the truths, but God knows, and in He we can always trust, that is no secret though :) You are very talented Sara, I'm sure this will do wonderful in the contest <3 Sara Kendrick November 17, 2025 at 3:23 AM Bj, thank you for the encouragement. Yes, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost can keep our secrets and forgive us in private where it is between only the Trinity and us. I appreciate the visit and nice comments. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar November 17, 2025 at 1:31 AM Many cannot keep a secret. Personally I hate gossip. Sara Kendrick November 17, 2025 at 3:20 AM Victor, I try to treat everything people outside of my family with respect and not repeat it because it could cause harm. I do better since I am older. Yes, gossip can destroy. Thanks for the nice review. Sara K

Paula Goldsmith November 16, 2025 at 8:24 AM I enjoyed reading your wonderful "A Secret Kept" write. Many can Not keep a secret. "Good Luck" Have a Blessed day writing away.......... Sara Kendrick November 16, 2025 at 8:31 AM Yes, I agree, Paula, some people cannot keep a secret. We have to know who we can trust and probably there only a few people within our circle of friends or family that can keep a secret. I appreciate the kind review. Sara K
