Margarita Lillico Poet Rhyme

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.

George Yiorgos Stathakis April 12, 2021 at 3:37 PM Two words popped out for me when I read your poem. One was "understanding" and other was "time'. And the need for both. Congrats!
