Some of the Best Kept Secrets
by Megan McGill
Some of the best kept secrets
Are told in the dead of night
With a drink in each hand
To ease your plight
Hoping the conversation
Won’t end in fright
Wake up praying
These words never again see light
Some of the best kept secrets
You keep from yourself
Locked away
In their own solitary confinement cell
Never a soul
You dare ever tell
A secret so dear
It doesn’t know itself
Some of the best kept secrets
Are shared with the world
The way that you feel
About a boy or a girl
By the way your eyes shine
And how your lips curl
No need for words
To make the wind whirl
Some of the best kept secrets
Are told face to face
When your heart is filled
With confidence and grace
And you’ve grown tired of running
This impossible race
Once the weight is lifted
You can finally keep pace
Some of the best kept secrets
Are made just for you
A small piece of heaven
You personally grew
The sky dancing
In a sunrise hue
A heart so full
These secrets and you
About the Creator

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
