What You Need To Hear

I wonder do you hear the pleas the sound of whispers thru the trees someone calling far away begging, please take me away do you realize my pain how I need shelter from the bitter rain how I want to know you care tell me please that you are there are you aware could you be alert to all the harmful words that hurt let me know that someone cares I need you to hear my lonesome prayers ©Neva Loretta Brown

Hi Neva Ahhhh, what a beautiful heart you have sweet! I think we are on the same wave length as you can tell from my poem To Waolk Alone.I hear, anytime...This is a powerful poem for it tells of the heart of so many folks these days. We truly do need to reach out to folks like these who sometimes just need an ear, a hun, etc. Keep writing hun and I'll keep reading. Many blessings to you and yours hun. Thanks for your most welcome comment. Take care Love Light Truth Patricia

oddly enough yes I do hear, although I think the subject is refering to herself more than the reader. Either way, when the needy call for help someone usually finds them in their state and can help them through it, if only by letting them know they really care and are not just saying they do. I really care because we're all in this together, sooner or later the bitter rain has to stop and the sun begins to shine again. Thanks for sharing. -Yoni

Awesome telling of the soul's vulnerability ... and yet this is not a fragile poem. Bravo!
