Favorite Quote:
When I woke up this morning lying in bed, I was asking myself; <br /> What are some of the secrets of success in life? <br /> I found the answer right there, in my very room. <br /> The Fan said... Be cool<br /> The Roof said... Aim High<br /> The Window said... See the world<br /> The Clock said... Every minute is precious<br /> The Mirror said... Reflect before you act<br /> The Calendar said... Be up-to-date<br /> The Door said... Push hard for your goals<br /> --Unknown

The voice would seek
Translucent
With only one desire
To speak
To be heard
And to linger

© Alex D., Russellville, AR

The author's comments:
Inspiration for this piece came from a desire to explain a shy person's quiet and sometimes misunderstood personality.

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not pray for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.<br /> ~ Tagore

My best friend is super shy but not when it's just her and me. She's an amazing person but no one else knows. Loved this poem, totally made me think of her!
