Confidently in Possession of Serenity

Can this serenity save me from dying as just a voice
When I am drawn to fly away, my friend
If I begin to live outside of this remoteness of mine
Will I ever see the same sunset again

My heart orbits this serenity confidently in possession
Of the wondrous hope tranquility brings
Yet my mind’s inclination is to leave these seas
To seek the wild winds with my wings

I find such intrigue in not moving, this stillness is me
Becoming an extension of the air I breathe
Yet in this place, I find my heart is not palpable
It needs more than my voice, and me

Before my eyes I know there is joy that waits for me
Outside of this serenity I call being alone
One day the inclination will come for me to fly
You will knock and I will be home

"Yet my mind’s inclination is to leave these seas
To seek the wild winds with my wings"

My favorite line. The whole poem is beautiful, but I find myself completely understanding what you are trying to say with just those two line. Nicely done!

I keep reading it again and again. A lovely piece of art!
I love this part:
"I find such intrigue in not moving, this stillness is me
Becoming an extension of the air I breathe
Yet in this place, I find my heart is not palpable"

nice symbolism...flying is always the most erotic of the choices for it spells freedom to emote and feel...very nice first entry..

[kdpgrahi]

You have very good words, 'you will knock and I will be home.'

Finding such warmth inside of the self.....just simply "being"......Neva, this is so emotive...I run out of words for your beauty! xx
