Tame and Tumultuous


 

I may be quiet, but I have important things to say.

More important, perhaps, than what those with loud voices shout.

I am not tame, underneath my quietness I am wild and rapturous.

Which is why, when I do yell out it is tumultuous and beautiful.

And more impactful than usual bravado.
