Tranquility

What is tranquility ?

I read it is the state or quality of being calm. 

I think of the words I associate with this quality;

Peaceful

Quiet

Unruffled

Tranquil

Liquid

Buoyant

I also read that it implies;

absence of noise

absence of violence

absence of worry

and this causes me worry,

because I know this is not life

Life is not the absence of worry.

I would like to be tranquil

but not dead.

I would like to experience tranquility

in Life.

We search for it as though it was truth.

I search for it and I try to create it.

I try to imagine it in the midst of life

and so, I wrote;

Time was relinquished to the waves

and the billowing white clouds blown across

a bright blue sky.

The last train might come and go but

there would be a bus and if not,

there is a footpath.

Tranquility reigned now.

She sank back into the sand and fell asleep. 

Chrysanthemums

Shared joy in a long-lived pot

Shines out bright

In amongst the flowery firework display,

The white light of love and loyalty

Strong and supporting the red of romance

The symbolic heart,

Complements yellow's sorrow.

The whole arrangement is in harmony,

A memory,  a wish,  a gift.

Time unfolds its flowers.

Kinds of Light

I'm looking out through my window,

The light lies flat upon the landscape,

Some of the greens remind me of 

a place, a time when I felt flat,

when the brightness of life had left

everything forgot it had ever been

until one morning when you open up

the curtains and the sun streams in to show 

the motes dancing among the dull furniture

I think about dancing too.
