The Age of Serenity

This poem gave me chills...the title caught my attention as i thought it would be about a teenager evolving...but then i realised... this piece beyond everything is humble.. humble because it speaks of years..not as something to hate..but something to love...instead of being mad for what it has taken away you potrait what it did ..in a bittersweet way..and the ending was like the cherry on top.
very accepting of how it is when one dies ..beautiful work -hugs-

What a great jab on ones' self! I love the your stanza about your wrinkles. Imagine makeup being a form of chemical warfare. Your poem make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you.

Wow ! peace within yourself and honesty to all. I loved this

This is a very clever write. i especially liked the opening stanza, and;

"darkened eyes hold secrets innocents would envy"

"Shall they dig me from the depths of earth
one hundred years from now
No silicone moons rest upon the cavity
Pristine, not even an acrylic tip".

those stuck out to me the most, lol.
very original. i don't think there's anything wrong with this. its definitely one of the poems i'll be reading often lol

love always,

OMG Kay I could swear I had already commented on this piece. *Scratches head, puzzled* .... lol
