Listen

Have you ever closed your eyes
And retreated to the stillness of your heart
Allowed yourself to dream
To wonder who you are
Your soul will whisper it's desires
If you would only take the time to listen
Life is all around you
It is in the rustle of the leaves
As they carry a gentle breeze
In the sweet song of the birds
As they flit from tree to tree
Today I think I will take some time
And get to know me

very prophetic, and well written... something we all should do, get better acquainted with ourselves! Write on!

It is passionate in its simplicity. So much life passes us by and we don't even acknowledge it. Good calming write.

I love this poem and its great message. WE all need to learn to listen to others more. Even Nature can help us dream by enjoyignher beauty rather than taking it for granted

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
