Handle with care, for heart fragile Love suffused, stance erect Be wary of thought forms agile Lower mind urge suspect Watch tremors rise and fall Hark voice of conscience call Mind not rebuffs, stand tall Ego snares scare Handle with care 04-December-2021 Quietus

The Quietess form intrigues me, Seeker. I like the repeated line, so I think I'll have to give it a try.
