Secret
There’s a secret here somewhere.
Hidden away.
Buried deep.
Everyone feels it
but nobody knows what it is.
Such a secret prompts theories,
we all have our pet one
which we enjoy sharing with each other.
Wouldn’t it be marvellous
to know the real answer?
All may be revealed one day.
But what if the truth
turned out banal? Disappointing?
Even if it was exciting
there’d be nothing left to speculate about.
The whole point of a secret is it is secret.
Perhaps some are best kept that way.
