gentle reaches
gentle spirits murmur
but i charge on, busy
with who knows what
fighting, for i am a fighter
and i will not give in willingly
gentle breezes touch me
and I lean against a rock
and slow my breathing, unsure
of what truly matters
until i give in to the one
who has whispered,
‘Be still and know that I am God’
unobtrusive
we seldom hear the quiet ones
who see without comment
often without judgment
aware and sympathizing
watching for unobtrusive ways
to remove an obstacle or ease
our path without our knowing
