Awakening the Quiet Self: Three Quintains

Awakening the Quiet Self: Three Quintains

A soul, feeling frayed and quite bare,

Uses self-care with diligent flair.

Breathes in, breathes out, slow and deep,

Lets worries fade and gently sleep.

And finds presence beyond all compare.

A mind full of chatter and strife,

Needs stillness to live a calm life.

Sit still, be quiet, listen close,

To inner peace that gently grows.

Find peace in the present each day, if.

Each day, when the world feels a race,

Find stillness, a peaceful, calm place.

Know yourself, the light, the shade,

A calmer, kinder soul is made.

And feel your own heart's gentle grace.
