I hear a secret, whispering to me. The secret chooses me. Only me, I am the only one. Over the valley, past the frosty hilltops Who knows this untold? Though tempted to tell, not I. I will keep this secret, Till the end of the world Till the animals go extinct Till the sun is too hot for snow to hit the ground I will keep my unrevealed As far as the Earth is an ocean of trash No green to be seen In my heart it will stay Stay till the world withers away Forever you will stay.

The stars hold only one mind The mind has a thousand eyes The world will die down Before the heart stops beating For love Clocks will wind and eventually stop ticking Before hearts give out The sky only has one world The world has a thousand hearts The stars Analise Braddock, 10Katonah, NY
