Everyone you meet
Wears a secret inside of them
Maybe it’s visible on their skin
Or when you deeply watch in their eyes
That you can see something hidden
Close to the heart but
Far away from the mind
They won’t tell you until they trust you
And still then not everyone will show
Because who knows what the other will do with it
One of them all
Is the sun on the ice
The glass in the sand
It’s metal in a pillow
We are a keeper of secrets
Secrets from ourselves
From others maybe, who trust us
Don’t ever misuse it
Covered in dust, frozen air perhaps
Lock after lock, on the bottom of the ocean
At the top of the mountain
Deep in the dark
There it is
