"In quiet hours, my heart does dwell,
Within the realm where my efforts swell.
Each task I cherish, each step I take,
Builds the world that I quietly make.
Though voices wander, and winds may call,
My steadfast gaze embraces all—
The work I craft, the goals I hold,
In them, my purpose, strong and bold.
So pardon kindly if I seem apart,
For all I cherish lives in my art.
Not from disdain, nor lack of care,
But in my work, my soul is there."
