QuietnessBy Amador T. Daguio

I am a lover of quietness-Unechoed songs within a silent heart,A silver pond, a statued lovelinessWhere words can take no part.I love the quiet ways of memory,The quiet looks to give you loving praise,The quiet secrets of my miseryThrough quiet nights and days.

The quiet mountains of the earth I love,The soaring clouds, the sun, the dewy leafMy quiet questioning of God above,My quiet, tearless grief.
