Quietude is what you like
best,
It moves and motivates
you.
More than a second
thought,
Always first in mind every
time.
You influence, animate and
exalt,
Urge details if must is a
requirement.
Outside rules not boxed
into pro forma,
Free spirited and free
style in counsel.
Complimentary and
considerate in heart,
Sheltering shades of imminent
darkness.
Your presence warms and
entertains,
That is the quietness and essence
of you.
