Serenity: A Poem
Serene solitude awakens my soul
with stirrings of unnamed longings,unclaimed dreams,and unspoken words.
Shining stars invite my wishes
with near-forgotten chants of"starlight, star bright," and"goodnight, my someone."
Salty streams trace my cheeks
from a heart-aching combination of
grief and joy;
fear and hope.
Poised on the brink of infinity,
I surrender to the current of all that has been,
all that is, and
all that will be.
Phew. I haven't birthed poetry of that sort in quite some time. To say that its need to be composed was intense is a vast understatement.
