Chapter 26

Listen To Me

I do not speak
To hear the melodious tones
Of my own voice
Or throw verbal stones

If I am saying something
It is important to me
What I am saying
Should need no apology

Dissemination can transpire in many ways
Communication need not be spoken
Sentiments, passions and affections
Should be cherished, not broken

Everything we do matters
Everyone, every person matters
When one chooses not to hear
Or listen - everything soon shatters

My voice is my own
I know that you can hear me
But do you ever really
Listen to me

Nobody
