A Secret

I am actually quite glad
That one day a moment will come
When all of you
Will be only my past,
Behind me,
And my future will be
White lightning,
An empty tunnel,
A ladder to the sky,
A door in the stars.
For that one brief instant,
At least,
You will all be memories,
Unable to hurt me,
Nothing to care much about, really.

This poem is very secret! It’s also very nice.

Thanks for the kind words! It is not as secret as the half-written poem in my copy of the Official ACT textbook, but I guess that is a high bar to top!
