Splendid Forbearance

It's ok to be stimulated,

But

One must be resolute in

maintaining the higher

(yet not of exclusion)

connecting balance

at the same time.

For, it is only less,

If

One has ignobly become

forever forgetful of

something so tranquil,

and in its forbearance,

so splendidly radiant.
