Lend Me Your Ear

Easy to judge by what it seems to be, More effort to immerse in what we hear. Take time to talk, there is much more to me, Before you tune me out, lend me your ear. Estranged to yours my life seems to appear Yet I laugh, love and struggle as do you. Same start, same final and same febrile fear - To be misjudged for diverse points of view. Bisected by a biased borderline, It only seems we are two worlds apart - For eyes to see, open your closed up mind Lend me your ear, I’ll open up my heart. March 18, 2021

Two words popped out for me when I read your poem. One was "understanding" and other was "time'. And the need for both. Congrats!

Love this Margarita, excellently written poem, a lot of personal truths in here, I also open my heart and listen, not only to what I want to hear, but to what is true and honestly credible, I cannot believe a closed mind. Just saying, cheers David

Interesting, but I find that when I lend someone my ear, they never stop talking! Aloha! Rico
