Charlotte Bronte once wrote, "The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed."

-Jane Eyre, 1847

Our dear characters believed it to be true,

Such is what guides their thoughts and secures their lips.

Until one day, they realize it didn't always have value;

And when the magic of snow falls, everything flips.

Sometimes the hidden treasures weren't buried as deep as you thought.

And most often they aren't things at all but a feeling that's been fought.
