Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in The Grove:
Watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you.
~Roald Dahl

The greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
~Roald Dahl

There are more secrets than known facts, and there are even more mysteries than secrets.
~Fedeline Wiarta

EndQuote:
And remember, also, added the Princess of Sweet Rhyme, that many places you would like to see are just off the map and many things you want to know are just out of sight or a little beyond your reach. But someday you’ll reach them all, for what you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow.
~Norton Juster

~Ritu Ghatourey

Anything will give up its secrets if you love it enough. Not only have I found that when I talk to the little flower or to the little peanut they will give up their secrets, but I have found that when I silently commune with people they give up their secrets also – if you love them enough.

Glass Table:
~Greenie:  Never Truly

Rainbowed shadows of life
flickering pale images
winding walls within my mind
the only life they breathe
soft sighs and murmuring cries
the language of loneliness and loss
dreams that never die, yet
never, truly live

The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4am knows all my secrets.

Prewritten Theme:  secrets

~BarTalk:
journeys’ journal #26

secret ink
can’t be erased
secret’s key
can’t be replaced

secret fears
encrypted notes
schemed in secret
a secret vote

fudge the truth
risk disgrace
contrive the win
a disputed race
~
secret door
to a secret place
secret bridge
to a sacred space

secret garden
a secret dream
a novel secret
a secret theme

secret love
an open sin
declared my love
she let me in

Players and The Played
or
Preyers and The Preyed Upon

Comey’s non-comedy
Pelosi’s proof for history
McConnell’s neutered toothless kennel
Schiff’s short shrift on the late news channel

Felony is not the enemy
Greed’s false profit as deity
Dynasty rules gov’s galaxy
Gospel truth burned in effigy

Founders dream of democracy
Now drawn and quartered in agony
Once a country footstool colony
As eulogies turn to elegy

O’er two centuries worth their work undone
As seats of justice become a throne

blush shocking reds at sunset
spill tears without shame

secret hiding post
gunshot rings from the mountain
when our dinner died
~
it’s confession time
use bricks from the wall to build
a bridge ‘tween secrets
~
not money or spice
secret ingredient
it was love she said

~

when

there are secrets in the silence
but the stars understand
they have ears
they have eyes
they have memory
the patience of eons
and should we learn it
should we earn it
the time comes…
