Feelings are hard to decipher
anger, hurt, happiness or joy
what are they trying to say?
Maybe tomorrow
I’ll know
I’ll have answers
not known, understood
today.

The sun shines thru
it’s beams radiating
goodness, love
all things beautiful.
Warming the earth
filling the sky
with creatures lovely
able to fly.
The soil is warmed
growing things
feeding all
feeding everything.
We are lucky beings
we’ve been given
life
from the sun’s radiating streams.

We keep secrets
We hold them tight
Never exposed
To see the morning light.
We keep secrets
Silent, secretive
They speak not a word
Sometimes to the grave
They’re carried, never heard.
We keep secrets
Untold secrets
We grasp them tight
Feeling the burden
The weight not light.
