Listen

To be profound,
Listen and heed;
On solid grounds,
See wants and needs.


There is a way,
A certain truth;
Each one must play,
For act greets proof.


Just live this day,
With heart and soul;
Easy the way,
Yet hard to hold.


Joy shows a face,
A happy state;
Walk with sure grace,
Breeze through life's gates.


Be simple yet,
Let wants be few;
Then hedge your bets,
Join noisy queue.


Live lovely light,
Let grace abide;
Now set your sights,
Love takes a side.


Listen to cheer,
Wear smiles that bless;
Purge silly fears,
Love more not less.
