Better a candle, covered…
Better a mirror in a lonesome room,
A beached whale –
A stillborn child
Better a sunless moon,
A bird with no wings
A dulcimer absent strings…
Better a ship in desert sands than
A poet in this, our world.
Poetry is Dead

The Quiet Visionary is a blog and freelance writing service focused on exploring the nature of culture, humanity, and personal growth. We are firm believers in "The whole person concept" - that acknowledgement and understanding of the internal will maximize the effect we can have on the external. That people are the way they are for reasons, and that the journey forward is one best taken with an attitude of community and selflessness. View all posts by The Quiet Visionary
