A Deep Ocean Of Secrets Poem by Kathryn Smalley

A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.
It is vast and beautiful
It can be pure and clear
Or dark and blue.
It weathers tropical storms
& category 5 hurricanes.
Ripples and waves constantly tousle it it holds wreckage from the past
& it has rare treasures
it has the capacity to get you where you need to be
it can get hot and burn up with the nights of summer
& can freeze over in the shadows of winter
In the end even the roughest of its waves
break into foam
& you can’t really tell where the it ends, and the sky begins
A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets
