Secrets

A collaborative poem

invisible steward of old
carrying secrets untold
grief and joy fly upon its wings
let the rest of your life 
now unburdened begin

sometimes it carries you
gently to the blue
no need for defiance
the sea is a tender loving 
sweep of silence

sometimes it rises up 
with a voice quite abrupt
then lightly as an autumn breeze
hushed in tone
speaking truths with ease

then it blows through clouds 
with fierce wintery growls
shrouded in irony
ready to howl at them 
revealing their mystery in defence

to ignore the wind
is dangerously akin
to abandoning a muse
listen
always listen
to the secrets it strews

Please note:

sometimes when creating a collaborative poem, it ends up that even smaller fragments lead to a unified whole or that words and phrases call for further shaping and moulding. This is no reflection on the contributor. Instead, it’s a beautiful reminder that the creative process is always filled with twists and turns.
