Listen

Listen for meaning,
Meaning in seeing,
Seeing true being,
Being in becoming.


Listen for a voice,
Voice that claims bold choice,
Choice in crystal poise,
Poise that must ever rejoice.


Listen to the light,
Light that feeds plain sight,
Sight in cheery flight,
Flight that feelings turn right.


Listen for a flow,
Flow in fiery glow,
Glow that calm now grows,
Grows as wise finesse shows.


Listen to the soul,
Soul that knows a whole,
Whole beyond twin poles,
Poles offering clear roles.


Listen to a theme,
Theme for haunting dream,
Dream that puzzles scheme,
Scheme in taunting extreme.


Listen for a sign,
Sign in distinct finds,
Finds that fit design,
Design in merge of minds.


Listen and follow,
Follow that hollow,
Hollow in marrow,
Marrow that feels swallow.


Listen if you must,
Must adjust your trust,
Trust in weary dust,
Dust that knows empty rust.
