Timeless Grace

I listen to a good friend speak
    but do not watch her face
  Follow I instead her dainty hands
    her gestures' timeless grace

  I listen to another friend
    and focus on her eyes
  They reflect vicissitudes
    each one a new surprise

  Listening's a neglected art
    from which many do depart
  Its instruments be eyes and ears
    windows to the heart
