Listen
listen quietly
with open mind & willing heart
listen within the silence
underneath the shadows
listen with intention
and hear...
When I issued a desperate plea
crying out in anguish
when I begged for answers
for escape
for death
anger overwhelmed me
the sound of my screams
of things breaking
of criticism
of argument
drowned out all else
But when I truly listen
listen calmly
focused on serenity
listen courageously
unafraid of the response
listen over the chaos
filtering out the confusion
when I listen carefully
I hear...
I hear a harmony
a beautiful chord
reverberating through the vastness of space
sweeping through planets & stars
rolling through ocean tides
rustling in the leaves of lush forests
I hear the voices
of the people who love me
quiet whispers of encouragement
cheers & laughter
I hear a melody
carried on the wind
a song of peace
I add my unique note
amplifying the sound
sending it back into the universe
Listen
do you hear it?
