Secrets

secrets awakened by an autumn breeze

their lullaby once a safe haven

rise up as whispers in the trees

drifting hither and yonder

morphing as amber leaves

falling to the ground

renewing cause

secrets heard

loud and

clear

Wonderful etheree with the lilting flow on the universal ever appealing subject. You shaped and presented it the way it is with the inquisitive essence of the secret. Regards

I wonder how many people have found out secrets that shattered their lives. Can secrets be kept, and how much of a strain is put upon one who keeps the secret.

Paul, perhaps something we will never know. I've kept secrets for years out of respect. However, if keeping a secret involves a life threatening situation, I would rethink my position. Thank you for your comment.
