So subtle is your secret wealth,
In honesty, an inner truth.
Let fill an empty room with nought,
Enduring peacefulness be sought.
Never stimulate or stress,
Certain of your quietness.
Ever give us noiselessness.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Sublime! Gave me the feels - those two opening lines particularly! ☺️
The picture fits so well with what you’re saying here, and “Enduring peacefulness be sought” is such a nice line. This feels almost prayerful, like reaching out for peace and calm and quiet.
Oooo, I especially loved the way you made this rhyme! So well done!
An empty room as in the image can let a person visualize themselves in many different ways. Great work
Sometimes, this is exactly what's needed. Utter silence and a chance to be still. Lovely work :)
