Depths of Writing

A writer, housed within her quiet life,
reminds me of a snail, so hidden, slow.
She works her craft in shadow, down below
the business of the world, the noise, the strife.

Deep oceans roll and offer up their prize.
She watches diamonds glisten on the waves
unlocking mysteries of coral caves
and yes, announcing words before her eyes.
