The Secret

The Secret was a very cool poem! I liked it a lot, and it wasn’t a dark sad poem for once... : ) It was a poem about the search for the secret of life. The poet describes the search for the secret of life as something that happens all through out life and that makes such perfect sense to me. This describes it all, “I love them for finding what I can’t find, and for loving me for the line I wrote, and for forgetting it so that a thousand times, till death finds them, they may discover it again (…)” This part just really showed how everyone is in different stages of their life, and they either haven’t figured out the secret of life, have or are in the process of rediscovering the secret. Life is always changing and it makes sense that a person rediscovers the secret of life many many times all throughout life because people will lose themselves or get caught up in life and forget that secret. But, they always come back and figure out life… remembering that secret. Even the poet is at that stage in her life, for she wrote the secret to life and she doesn’t even remember it. She is maybe a little lost in her life at the time, but she is okay with it knowing one day she will get back to that time in her life where she will remember the secret. At the end of the day, I think it’s interesting that life always has its ways of bringing a person back to center and remembering that important secret in life…which is maybe just never lose who you are in the chaos of life…
