I Know A Secret Poem by Leria Hawkins

Today I heard a whisper
A patient little rhyme
A jingle, just a tingle
Went running down my spine

I'm flooded by its sunshine
So warm against my cheek
From just that little whisper
A buzzing…so to speak!

Today I heard a sigh
A raspy little thing
Like bees upon a breeze
Or the flutter of a wing

I'm taken by its purring
A lilting in my heart
From just that little sigh
Such passion in a spark

Today I heard a secret
Twas breathing soft and low
A mystery cloaked in history
That only we would know

There's comfort in its presence
It's bound with lock and key
I hold that little secret
Deep inside of me…
