The Flow

Come gather ‘round
Listen closely now
Relax, let your guard down
Just for a little while
Listen closely now
Enjoy the song of silence
Enjoy the winds of thought

Your mind has just stalled out
Your body has fallen swiftly
Down the road to boredom
If you walk straight line sideways
If you speak forwards backwards
Can you see where you’re going, have gone, never were
Can you say and be understood, heard, listened to

Close your ears a moment
Listen with your eyes
Can you see all about with your ears
What do your eyes hear before them
Feeling with your soul, softly, caressing
Speaking with your heart, thinking
Acting as one within the silence
Behold that which you see, all that you see
Yourself, someone else, no one else
Just you
