Listen

Listen
Listen to the wind
Listen to the rain
Listen to the quiet
Listen to yourself when you are eating pain
Listen to your loved ones who may be able to read the warning signs
Listen to heart
Listen to your mind

It’s not failing
It’s not weakness
It’s not about being good or bad
It’s not about impressing

Time is not on your side
It never was, it never will be.
Time controls your life, it always has.

Listen, listen, listen.
