The Secrets of Love

Secrets languish in dusty corners, 
until the time is right.
When the knowledge to change people's lives,
finally comes to light.

This life we live of karmic design,
must have their reasons why.
The events to come will pay the debt, 
with no more time to buy.

The secrets of love when held so tight,
an oath made to be bound.
Even when the night is forgotten,
and buried in the ground.

For the children sleeping in their beds,
as their dreams take to flight.
The shadows will fade as time forgives,
like dawn forgives the night.
