Have you heard a whisper?
The ones we keep
The ones we lock
But forever live
I can see your heart
The secrets inside
Grasping the love
That compels within
Safe and warm
It shines and grows,
Molds and turns,
Scrap and complains
Secret keeper
Let it out
Tell your heart
What you need to hear
Just keep it safe
Until is yours no more
And safely faiths away
To keep you locked
No more

The picture is so perfect for it. And your comment about it made it mean so much more. It is a reflective, almost bittersweet, but sweet piece, tender and loving. I appreciated that you classified it as "forgiveness" for that lent a different angle on it than I initially had. I enjoyed this poem....and look forward to more of your work!
Thank you so much 🙂 My grandma has been a very private person and sometimes has been hard to know her real self. So it's almost like a keeper; she keeps most of the love she feels inside. But I know she loves us and well it sort of put it together. So again I really apreciate your comment. Also You are very talented and nice writer, very sweet, so I would like very much to read more of your poems too. 😉 take care.
Thank you for all you've said regarding the poem...it makes the poem all the more valuable with the meaning behind it....a very nice tribute to your reserved grandmother! Thanks again!
i really liked the way you chronologically put down the verses, and that too without cutting short the rhythmic pattern of the poem.
Thank you very much 🙂
Happy holidays!!!!
