Listen Carefully

Listen carefully.


Embrace the tree, for it has been a century in the making.
Use kindly words when you need to speak,
For their thoughts may well be illuminating.


Relax your shoulders and forget your jobs.
You are never too busy to find the time.
A hand shake is a form of smile.
A happy friend of mine.


Do not be an ice cave,
To their new age ways,
They could teach you a thing or two.
Take off your shoes,
Put on your sandals,
Wear a tie-dye t-shirt in place of your suit.


Connect with Earth
And find your inner peace.
If you are not willing to listen,
Then you will never hear your heart speak.
