Weary Serenity

by Star   Jan 7, 2019


She traced the cracks on the wall,
like she sailed within a map
from the Pacific to the far Indian.

With the direction of her body,
her silky hair gently flowed
like waves of a calm ocean.

    I know I'm just going to mirror what everyone else has said, but it's really telling when a few lines can inspire that serenity. I love the kind of "ebb and flow" I feel from this, the sense of direction and exploration, neatly written in these few lines.

    Great title. To me this suggested an outward calm and ease that is often attributed to someone/thing who portrays serenity with no effort at all.

    In two stanzas we see her just being her - in a world/time and place not necessarily of here. I like how this made me view a timeless image in my mind.

    Take care.
