Charisma

There is a power,

     Mostly unnoticed,

That touches perception

     Drawing its pleasure,

Feeding off charm and

     Self-deprecation,

Taking and giving

     In equal measure.

 

Siphoning pressure

     Defusing the tension,

Total suspension of

     Fusion and flack.

Taking the brunt of

     Blunt confrontation,

Turning it inside out,

     Giving it back.

 

Here is a gift

     Given to but a few,

Humble and silent,

     Hidden from view.
