Suscilia is a flower in the shade.
Unless one looks for her, she is not there.
Such modesty in loveliness is rare,
Charming in a way that does not fade.
In her there is a calm and quiet space
Lying over thrumming agitation.
Inside she may explode with indignation
As outside one sees dignity and grace.
