Peacefulness

Peacefulness

I woke up from a deep nap.
The house was quiet.
I made myself coffee
in my favorite cup.

I sat on the couch
put a blanket over my knees
and began floating in my thoughts
like on rippling seas.

I heard my favorite music –
the kind one hears from a lonely boat –
and in this soothing silence
I reached for a pen and wrote.

My name is Martyna Sarnowska. I was born in 1985 in Gdynia, Poland. For six years I studied History of Art and Arts in Education in France, England and USA. However, only during the last year of university I realized my deep passion for literature, poetry and writing. At the age of twenty five, I got to understand that reading and writing are for me the closest and dearest forms of art and expression. Since that moment my daily life has been occupied with books, poetry and writing – poems, essays, journals… Recently, I have begun running a book club which enables me to discuss literature with others. Now, in a natural way came the time for this blog – space, where I can share my writing and my thoughts on literature; where I can open up to the world.
