I am the breeze whispering in the trees
I am the sound of waves lapping to the shore
I am the lazy buzzing of pollen laden bees
I am the whitest of noises in a darkened room
I am the tranquility of the palest of blues
I am the harmony of notes played in tune
I am the soothing brush of fingers on skin
I am the smooth taste of chocolate
I am the child sleeping peacefully
I am the tea drunk in silence
I am the memory of laughter
I am the moment between moments
I am in the kindness of the heart
I am in the beauty of the soul
I am in the composure of the mind
I am in the serenity of the spirit

Like this my dear… Very much! I think the third verse is my favourite xx
I love this! So peaceful! Especially the tea drunk in silence…that’s my favourite thing to do after little on is in bed xx
That’s absolutely beautiful Sara, wish I could write poems! I like the tea drunk but obviously I’m replacing tea with decent savvy! x
That’s lovely Sara. Such a beautiful ode to your prompt word. I feel calm and relaxed just from reading it. I particularly like the line ‘I am the memory between moments’.
Oh this is really beautiful, love it
Love love this poem. I would have to agree with Renee, the third verse if my favorite, especially the line, I am the moments between the moments. Thank you for sharing this, Sara, and for having us on #ThePrompt this week. Can’t wait to read through the rest of the pieces!
That’s really beautiful Sara and just what I needed to calm me down! :) X
This is beautiful, Sara. The tempo of it made me feel like I was being lulled in to a sense of calm – perfect xx #ThePrompt
Beautiful. I love this :) x
Ah lovely – such a calming poem and picture! I think I might need to bookmark this for when anxiety strikes :) xx
So beautiful. I used to write poetry a lot. I really enjoyed this. Took me straight to a calming place. Xx
Oh beautiful and I love the fact so many of us choose sea photos. Mich x
This is such a beautifully-written poem! I love the imagery used in all the descriptions of calm.
This is such a beautiful poem; it’s so serene and peaceful and the epitomy of your Prompt word
The line ‘child sleeping peacefully, I am the tea drunk in silence’ has such resonance. That end of the day peace and calm is perfectly captured in those two lines.
Lovely post
