Quiet juxtaposes sound, a place where mute thoughts abound. And though silence may be rare, quiet can be anywhere. Quiet resides in stillness, a respite from life's shrillness. From cell phones to children's toys, we are bombarded by noise. Quiet's a sanctuary when chaos becomes scary. And it is a peaceful state that regulates your heart rate. Quiet is a time of bliss comparable to a kiss. It's a feeling of calmness that's garnered from aloneness. Quiet's that extended hush when your mind tells you to shush. And morphs into a gateway when you need to get away.

"Quiet" is a beautiful word and something precious, especially now that we are bombarded with noise from different sides. "Quiet is a time of bliss / comparable to a kiss." Lovely lines.
