Helen J Radford Poet Free verse

Listen

Stop and listen. 
Inhale the silence. 
Practice peace. 
Exist in the ecstasy 
Of empirical vision. 
Have faith in what you see. 

Wash away your worries 
In cleansing water. 
Practice peace. 
Exist in the knowledge 
Of innate intuition. 
Listen to your heart: just 'be'. 

Stop, just listen. 
No talikng. No jangling noise. 
Practice peace. 
Exist on the lapping seas 
Of solitude and serenity; 
Floating, caressed by harmony. 

And in the silence 
Hear the still small voice of calm; 
Comforting, stroking away 
The caustic, jarring 
Cacocophony of chaos 
The world has become. 

Practice peace. 
Exist in unity. 
Inhale love. Exhale anger. 
Floating , creating harmony 
in the maelstrom of humanity. 
Breathe, listen, hear, be.
