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!

This is a beautiful poem, and I am intrigued to find out about the process used to write it. "My heart orbits this serenity confidently in possession
Of the wondrous hope tranquility brings," knocked this one out of the park for me!

You definitely covered all the words in the prompt,
as only you can Neva, beautiful and flowing... xo

Serenity is safe
Lock for mind
Seek and find
Beautiful sun set
Time after time

Ever circling
Phoenix pecks possession
Peeks peak's sunset
Falls for fire

Tornadic passion
Stirs stillness
Shakes sun

Ashes from pyre
Awakens desire
New day
New door
Heart waits

Hope opens
Breathe joy

Another beautiful scribe from your nib, Neva.

You will knock and I will be home

That's such a profound statement of love within the longing heart.

[Joel M Frye]

Really like the whole of the second stanza; it has the scope of vision I've become accustomed to reading in your work, and carries a depth of meaning for me. Wonderful piece from a homework assignment, Neva ;)

Captures the peaceful grace of freedom to choose and move among the tides of winds and change.

Very picturesque and thought provoking.
