Listen

We don't listen enough
Not really listen
We just wait to speak
Not still our minds
And listen carefully
Imagine the difference
If we really listened
Wanting to hear
Needing to know
Taking it slow
Asking questions
Holding reactions
Seeking to understand
To find common ground

Imagine a world
Where politicians
Listened
Really listened
To each other
To the issues
To the people
To advisors
Kept listening
Not just responding
But comprehending
Cohesion building
Problem solving
Solution finding
Peace building

Closer to home
Do we ever roam
Inside our own minds?
Imagine what we'd find
If we listened
To our hearts
Our souls
Finding inner peace
Greatest release

Imagine the freedom
If we really listened
Start to appreciate
How we relate
Imagine
Listen
