Soft words and calm silence, expressing complexity
Better than the longest speech.

A mind saturated with serenity,
Achieving heights otherwise out of reach.

Such are the results of quietness -poetic, calm, and true.
Professing most sublime concepts:
A task only the greatest teacher could ever hope to do.

The author's comments:
Our world is too loud. It bothers me. There is not enough silence, which is most beneficial to the mind and heart.
