The reticent volcano keeps


The reticent volcano keeps
His never slumbering plan ―
Confided are his projects pink
To no precarious man.
If nature will not tell the tale
Jehovah told to her
Can human nature not survive
Without a listener?
Admonished by her buckled lips
Let every babbler be
The only secret people keep
Is Immortality.
Emily Dickinson
People cannot keep any secret but immortal volcano.
The secretive volcano keeps
His volatile plan ―
His lava plan are confided
To no mortal man.
Jehovah told to Nature
If she will not tell the tale
Can frail men not
Live quietly?
She answers weighing words
Let people speak freely
The only secret that they keep
Is immortal volcano.
