Here come my friends again;
how fares a lady such as me,
and I must smile, my secrets lie
behind a wall of silence,
but it is right, and they are right,
for blinded I can’t see,
the meaningful import
of down to earth insights.

I sometimes can picture
the bowing down of hope
when the object of my dreams
no longer spotlights me
but afraid of the dark
I must seek again my soul
and build another secret
as my comforter.

Too many and I’ll break
the vow of silence made
and then of me they’ll speak
perhaps with sympathy
but a secret life, secret love,
holds faithfully my hand
until one day I’ve passed
into eternity.

And then with me they’ll cry
for all that should have been!

Tears dry, you know, but just until they come again. Thanks for the read.

What's sad to me is that
"all my friends" will cry when I'm gone.. and for all that could have been?
Then again, maybe they won't.

Thank you for this and the love of Sundays~
Peace to you dear Helen~

i am speechless! this just cuts to the
core, so powerful, especially that last
verse! you write your heart well here,
and I stand in awe.

take care.

if you chase it,
it will surely fly away,instead
hold it close and watch it grow into
something beautiful"

Thank you "Bluesy" and Amy for your responses. Yeah - maybe they won't all cry because of secrets they may not know. It just depends on the strength of containment thereof.
