Quiet can settle and firm like soil:
     rich with potential, heavy and dark.
          Press it into your palms.

Quiet can blow and flutter like breeze:
     lifting hair and leaf, sliding over skin.
          Spread your fingers for it.

Quiet can flicker and burn like flame:
     warm and bright, expanding.
          Keep it carefully nearby.

Quiet can spill and flow like stream:
     pouring over and into itself, slippery.
          Cup your hands to cleanse and sip.
