Listen

“Be still. Be still. Listen for what is real.” Alleviate congestion of tomorrows what will be for what is held in future tense you’re not allowed to see “Be still. Be still. Listen for what is real.” Release the loads of yesterday for they are passed away Here and now in this today allow what’s real to stay “Be still. Be still. Listen for what is real.” © Debra Squyres 10/24/14
