the secret word
“Once exposed, a secret loses all its power.”―Ann Aguirre
it comes from deep within a shell,
pressed closely to the ear,
whose music no one else can tell
but he who holds it dear.
i hear it in the ripple of
the gently flowing spring:
a word of patience and of love
the cooling waters bring.
i guard it like a sentinel,
its treasured sentiments
to keep concealed from talk and tell
for mere convenience.
it is a bond twixt kindred hearts,
a code against the throng;
essential theses it imparts,
to save the evensong.
