I have got a secret
Or maybe even two
Something special I won't tell
No, not even to you
It nestles in between my ribs
Like snakes among the grass
Watching, waiting for the day
The moment comes to pass
When secrets need not hide away
Where voices raise in wonder
To see the shimmer of their scales
To fear no fight or plunder
With fangs tucked safely back inside
No reason left to bite
They'd coil on curious fingers and hands
Alive under the light
Though this has not yet come to pass
I'm not sure if it will
Hope shines in the serpents' bones
To not be a secret still
