Healer #4

Please complete a commentary for this poem.  Thank you.

LEARNING THE TRUTH 

How far is there left to go? 
And just how do we cover the distance? 
The days whisper secrets to each other 
When we are not paying attention. 
The years ignore us altogether. 
This is why the wind bites so hard 
In the deepest corner of winter. 
The secrets hold a truth that 
You and I cannot know, at least not yet. 
Something dark, down below us, 
Keeps these secrets and protects them, 
Nurtures and feeds them, 
But not forever, just for awhile. 
We will learn the truth 
Just as the lights finally go out.
