Secrets

In the forest
Grows a tree
And underneath
Their secrets be
Deep below its
Roots extend
Down passageways
That curl and bend
Secrets told to 
Branch above
Nestle down there
Like a glove
They wait there
Patient for the
Day they can
Emerge and
Have their say
Tell your troubles
To that tree
So you can set
Your warm heart
Free.
