What Are Your Secrets

Your swollen red kissable lips
Abject sadness I see in your
cloud gray eyes

A swirl of energy
Koi spiral around you
keeping you safe

Woman of the pond
What are your secrets?
The pain is yours
To reveal or to keep 
to yourself

I will honor you either way.

A lovely poem Caren, I guess most people have one secret, and until you tell you can't rest. Bravo my friend. Blessings and hugs, Jennifer.
