Secrets
A secret is a bit of private information given to hold
in trust by another those words inside them forever.
A secret can be a fire that burns in us and urges to be told
which we must resist this temptation and reveal it never.
A secret is recreated each time it is given to someone
but it is no longer a secret to those that again let it go
and becomes a breach of the trust that was given to that one.
The broken trust that the telling one commits when doing so
can break up a friendship ruining the life or the reputation
of the one whose secret is exposed and cause much vexation.
But when curiosity learns of a secret, it is aroused from its slumber
and is like a hungry cat that can no longer rest until it has dined
upon the delicious morsels of food to satisfy its great hunger.
And we all know what tragedy the cat’s curiosity did find.
Knowing this, a secret should be allowed to just slumber
& never let it be known we have a secret asleep in our mind.
