Quiet Truth

Neither for majesty
of erudite loquacity
nor for elegance
of literary superiority
does he deeply crave
to gain mundane popularity;

but truly gifted he is
with the eloquence of silence,
the dignifying humility
and grateful reverence,
the persuasive power
of quiet truth, his best defense.
