Secrets
Secrets in a special place
That I wish you could know,
Bundles that are neatly tied
And never meant to show.
Did you see past the curtains?
Did my secret get to you?
Did the light behind them catch your eye
When the wind once blew?
I wonder if it's possible
That you have a secret too.
I thought I saw a flash of light
When the wind reached you.
Secrets that could hurt us
Or that could make us grow,
Secrets that would change it all
If we both should know.
These bright secrets that are happy
We want to give away,
But fear makes us silence them
And hide them every day.
Secrets that are neatly tied
Are never meant to show,
But if the wind sheds light once more
Everyone will know.
