Shivering in rows
Packed
With deep roots
Counting time
Mending
Planning to heal
Gathering strength
For the time
They burst forth
With a growl
Knowing secrets
Are never hidden
From Heaven

so true, they are all waiting to burst forth and they sure are not secrets from heaven. like this Secret...better than human secrets.
Enjoyed your poem and photo. I love moss and let as much grow in my yard as will. We can't keep secrets from heaven or the earth.
It is time to burst forth ...in like a lions Growl ~ out like a lamb . lol
I adore this. It closes so beautifully.
nice lines and image...truth will come out in time...
there is so much going on just under the surface....new life waiting to burst forth...when this snow finally stops....snowing again today...ha
How very true that there are many secrets of nature hidden from our view.
Bring on the "springing forth" . . .
Very nice one Gail . . .
Good one!
This poem is just beautiful! It is the very essence of the beginning of Spring. I have printed it, and can I ask you a question? I am a deacon and manage the prayer request line at our church. Can I recite this on our prayer line? I sometimes put on devotions, poems, and trivia. I know everyone would love it. I will give you full credit if you give me your last name, otherwise I can keep it nameless.
I love, especially, the closing lines. So true.
gathering strength.. lovely imagery of rising up.
Thank you,Natasa.
It's that time.. the secret beneath springing forth.. glorious spring indeed.
Soon very soon all secrets will be reveled. :)
I'm ready for some bursting forth and earth mending scars fo a long hard winter.
Love your take on secrets...spring bursting in bloom from them
Secrets never hide from heaven - so true.
Nicely done! I love the way the last line ties it all together.
Oh, and when they burst forth....it is worthy of a celebration! I enjoyed this & am thinking of the coming of spring.
This is true - 'never hidden from heaven' - we too. ~ Nice take at words.
I think Willow forgot a word in her comment, the lamb would no doubt say Baa! (or was it Bah?)
All secrets certainly find a way of being known..a powerful and punchy poem
Nice job with the words and the picture.
ZQ
secrets in the ground with deep roots... yes, let them get their energy and burst forth. No secrets in heaven for sure. Great message and nice image that you paired with the poem.
Secrets do go underground, don't they? And they don't always come up pretty.

Love the ending especially--so true that Heaven knows all the secrets.
