When you listen
the soft coo
of the mourning dove
reveals the beauty of life
Drops of dew
on blades of grass
sparkle light
into your soul
Water lapping
on the lake
slows your pace
restores your rhythm
When you listen
dawn reveals
the answers
to your problems
The crow’s caw
speaks wisdom
and you know
what you need to do
When you listen
silence becomes your friend
you no longer need
to run from yourself
you understand
life’s wisdom
can only be learned
in the silence
When you listen
the Creator
whispers
you are good
In the silence
your soul is fed
with endless gifts
of love
When you listen
you realize
something deep
and mysterious
something sacred
is taking place in your life
right here
right now
and the more attentive
you become
the more you
see and understand it
When you listen
your heart
and soul
lead the way
Your feet catch up
to the One Life
you’ve only imagined
could be yours
