A Quiet Sort of Man by ~AdirianSoan:iconAdirianSoan:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


There is a quiet sort of man,
Walking down the central lane,
Water dripping from umbrella's span,
Held aloft to keep away the rain.

He moves with an understated stride,
His face and eyes downcast but bright,
And his motions quietly dignified,
As he walks across my sight.

I peer as close as I may dare,
Into his quiet downturned face,
Whatever his quiet affair,
On his features leaves no trace.

I watch him as he continues on,
Moving in a quiet sort of way,
His distractions quietly withdrawn,
No matter how deeply I may survey.

I do not intrude upon his space,
And if he noticed he did not betray,
But rather with a quiet sort of grace,
This quiet sort of man quietly walked away.

I'm starting to feel abusive of the words "Thank you," but thank you!

It is, isn't it? I don't desire to be ungrateful for the praise, however, and short the moments when something more suitable comes to mind, it seems the only appropriate response to let somebody know I have read and appreciated their comments.

Very true. The only problem is when it's so overused that it loses all meaning what so ever to the publisher. Like many things I've discovered. I've picked apart the meaning of almost every sport and word that seemed so familiar to me. Now they mean nothing.....just labels.....

I tend to absorb new meanings for words, so that they stay constantly fresh and dynamic. This also means that if somebody uses a word incorrectly I may add to the general confusion by using it in that manner later, but chaos is good.
