A Secret KeptA Poem by Bonnie Paige
A secret kept
Twinkling sunlight peeking softly between this forest of trees. Old is my Twilight hours, broken are my nights. This isn't long ago it's here and now. Like memories of those peaceful rides alone and along Colorado's rustic trails. He guided me tenderly and quietly down paths and shallow streams, I counted on his gentle ways as mindlessly I became absorbed in nature's beauty. Troubled mind keeping hidden secrets. I wandered down the twisted paths of brown and green undisturbed earth, I gathered all that fell before me. Fallen leaves, fallen branches, fallen pine cones and seeds ever dying, ever reborn. The air of steady sweetness sweeps across it all. Here is my sanity he never lost his way bringing me from my alienations to my prudence. I end my forest ride in calmness by beginning the ending pace at the green wide field of open pasture. I let him take the reins and we are flying free into the wind. Planes flew at the Air Force Academy. I flew high on my limited sound of mind. From my euphoric High I crash to my lowest of lows. No more flying high from the fires in my heart. Data has reached his limit and life brings it all to the end. Letting go…so painful. But, secretly month after month I count as many as eleven J' etais secrétement á toi, toujours á toi, and Broken yours. © 2023 Bonnie PaigeFeatured Review
