If you whisper your secrets to the stars, they will hear them, and they will keep them.
Wrapped in darkness and camouflaged with stardust.
They will make them shine brightly so that no one can tell one secret from another.
They will shoot across the sky with them should someone discover your secrets. Half-way across the universe, they will be hidden just as well.
Someone else may reach for your secret and discover it is too far away; the sky is fathomless, bottomless.
Someone may whisper their secret to your secret, thinking it a star, and the secrets will intertwine, but the stars will pull them gently apart when you wish them to return your secret.
Only ask, and they will be returned.
They may be glittery with stardust. Do not worry. It will fade in time.
