Mystic Rose Rose Poet Couplet

Be Quiet As Water

Hold still and be quiet as water while you search for  thoughts inside 
shine like the stars sparkle like the sun but in this world, be bonafide

Life is clamorous and its message very often is loud and in your face     
hold still and be quiet as water, join the  flows of it's liquid Grace 

Love quite often does not make a sound so live in the hour of its gift 
hold still and be quiet as water, enjoy the journey and the lift; 

Justice is a silent partner to an honest life join the noiseless force 
hold still and be as quiet as water, live diligently without remorse  

Courage can be found in altruistic words other times in silence
hold still and be quiet like water, if the pain needs guidance?  

know that water can be fluid, yielding in a world of solid matter
hold still and be quiet like water when in doubt, take the latter

be as quiet as water.

Brandy Nicole March 30, 2023 at 5:14 PM "Hold still and be quiet as water, while you search for thoughts inside." I think this is a beautiful way to begin, it's also a wonderful way to end. (As far as the way we live while we're here on this earth). The photo you have chosen to go with your words is so soft and serene. Soothing in many ways. Your words uplift my heart. Congratulations Vienna, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
