Secret
You are the loneliness in the storm.
You are the book closed on a shelf waiting for years to be read once again.
You are the smell of burning wood in a log fire
You are the sunshine hidden behind two clouds at night . You are the secrets of the earth sworn to never be told . You are the beginning and the end you are forever.
I really enjoyed your poem, Caitlin. I think you’ve chosen very successful ideas for your theme. My favourite is the idea of loneliness in the storm – I can imagine the feeling of loneliness even in the deafening crashes. Well done!
