Listen Closely
I walked on a lonely road
with no one beside me,
and no actual destination in mind.
I walked because I heard a voice --
a voice in the distance,
it sounded so clear,
it sounded so close, yet so far.
"You must find the way" the voice repeated,
"Follow the words" went right after that.
I walked and I walked -- not knowing:
Was this the path?
Were those the words to follow?
But I trusted and I believed in what I kept hearing,
I found that way and followed those true words...
And I am still walking and listening today!
