Listen;

ꜱʏʟᴠᴀ

Sshhh…
Be quiet… and listen…
To the sky above and earth below and peace within…
To the rhythmic pattering of the rain blessing down…
To the cricket singing…

To the grass rustling…

To the owls hooting…

To the leaves rumbling…

For those who listen,

there are words within…
through the loudness within the quiet
Oh, there are words, can’t you hear ‘em?
Be quiet, and listen..
Can’t you hear the words they speak in unison…
Maybe the words are tangible..
But to be touched they are too frangible

Maybe the words are a feeling…
I can't explain but it's ever so appealing…
To The soul who’s listening and not hearing
To the soul who's listening and eagerly waiting…
Wait a little longer an you might hear them singing

    A lovely write, we should just stop sometimes and listen, we miss so much constantly rushing around, enjoyed the read

    Such a powerful message in a world too busy for us to listen. Loved the nature images and the general presentation. A lovely poem
