***************

Like fireflies,
seen for a moment,
then disappearing
into the night.

So are secrets
that seem life-changing,
fading into the mists of time,
only a blip
in the great, grand
scheme of things.

One day
they will never
be known.
They are, after all.

  1. They may disappear like fireflies when knowing them becomes irrelevant.

    in the great, grand
    scheme of things.

  6. I love the firefly simile, Bev – some secrets illuminate the truth when they are told, while others should remain hidden, and we forget most of them in time.

  9. Secrets may fade in and out but some linger in the darkness, like kryptonite.
