Habilin
A golden ring
A sword by a lady
Genie in the lamp
Silver kept by first
People before
John Reed could
Claim the hero’s
Steed
Who keeps the
Holy Grail? Who
Killed Cock Robin
And, more soberly,
Black Dahlia?
Where is Jimmy
Hoffa? Where
Did D. B. Cooper
Fall? What
Happened to the
Mary Celeste
And Flight 19?
And where is the
Key to my hidden
Heart?
I don’t know
Much about holy
Relics, enigmatic
Personages,
Famous mysteries;
About secrets,
Well, I’ve kept a
Few—I’d rather
Not have had to
To children,
Secrets make
Innocent mischief;
Later, for safety
Sake, they might
Be exigent even
Into years
But, finally,
When the glass
Is no longer
Darkly, when we
Shall see with
Clarity
And all shall be
Known face to
Face,
On that day I
Shall be
Relieved, for
Heavy chore
Has been
Reliving secrets
(First Corinthians 13:12)

Nice take Christopher. You are right, its often quite a burden to keep secrets. It will be good when no one longer lies or does things that require them to be secret or to have guilt.

Yes, I appreciate the need though would prefer burden-free living for all. Thanks, Mandi!

Oh, brother! Another deep and thought-provoking piece from you!!! Those are secrets the world will yet to unmask. But these lines:
“And where is the
Key to my hidden
Heart?”
Geezs. ❤

Thank you, sister! While drafting, I realized I wanted to bring the questions closer to home. And where is that key? The strength of your response is encouraging!

This world that we’re living in is filled with more questions than answers, I supposed. When will all these make sense, I do not know. But in our own “universes” we have the choice to enjoy the quest to wisdom and illumination.
Thanks for this insightful piece, Christopher.:)
