Listen with
ears
Or eyes or
touch -
Take care
of
Defensive
darts
That shoot
from the hip
Too quick with
a whip
Like
acrimony.
Listen…
Like there’s
an award
For listening
Like the
prodigy
Is a
listener
Building a
hidden
Well of
resources
Like there’s
enough time
For adaptive
minds
To meet in
the middle
Of lost
connections
Listen to
the beautiful
stumbles
and flight
To the push
and pull of love
That is
never perfect.
To the buzz
of tension
Where love
is free
But can
hold the tightest shape
So full
Yet room
for more
And more
So complete
Yet needing
Listen in
the wrong
Listen in
the right
Unlace the
tethered pains
Of others
and yourself
To wild
wonder
And reconciliation
To your
beautiful heart
Your body
Your life.
