The Soul of a Girl: Told by a Bedroom

Sarah Fenter

Student Contest, Spring 2018, 1st Place

There was a flower on the wall in her mug is leftover tea old shells of creatures from the sea the sound of the white wing dove’s call

green trees soft leaves rest on the floor dust floats through light like stars at night a space so empty yet so bright clothes lie at the foot of the door

papers litter the old cracked desk at the corner an empty glass backpack stuffed with textbooks for class the moleskin notebook holds her best

in this moment, hour of stillness the peacefulness of the present blesses the air and basks within The aura of her innocence
