Truly Listen to What is Being Said By Another

In a world so loud and busy,

 It's easy to be caught in a tizzy,

 But if we take a moment to truly listen,

 We'll find our hearts begin to glisten.

 For when we listen with intent,

 We find the message that is meant,

 To speak to us in gentle tones,

 And guide us through life's twists and turns.

 So when you sit with someone near,

 Give them your undivided ear,

 For in their words you'll find a story,

 That may just bring you newfound glory.

 Listen to their hopes and fears,

 Their laughter and their tears,

 For in their words lies the key,

 To understanding who they truly be.

 Don't just wait for your turn to speak,

 But truly listen, be not meek,

 For in the echo of their voice,

 You may just find your heart rejoice.

 Listen to the whispers in the wind,

 The secrets that the trees do send,

 For nature speaks in quiet ways,

 And in her wisdom we may graze.

 Listen to the songs of birds,

 The rustle of the leaves in herds,

 For in their sounds lies a tale,

 That may just make your spirit sail.

 Listen to the beating of your heart,

 The rhythm that sets you apart,

 For in its cadence lies a truth,

 That may just set you free, in sooth.

 Listen to the silence deep within,

 The space where your soul does begin,

 For in the quiet lies a song,

 That may just keep you strong.

 So let us all take a moment,

 To truly listen, without torment,

 For in the act of truest hearing,

 We may just find our hearts endearing.

 And as we open up our ears,

 Let us banish all our fears,

 For in the act of listening well,

 We may just find our spirits swell.

 So let us all take heed,

 To truly listen, to the call we need,

 For in the act of being present,

 We may just find our souls ascent.
