Interrupting at every chance
Why is it nobody listens
Why is it nobody cares

Just once she’d like to express
Her inner self to the full extent

Without needing to elbow
For her place on the podium
For her place in the sun

Why is it nobody cares
Why is it nobody listens

He is listening to Mozart with his feet up,
too mature to get into all the drama anyhow.
There are fluffy marshmallows in his cocoa cup.
their work has been done for a fortnight now.

Mrs. Claus comes in and asks "Do you know where....?"
and he replies, "I do...

Asleep at night, tucked into dreams
   Waves retreat, the water beats

Soft awake, whispered words
   The water's there, waves silent prayer

A wintry morn, the sun's rays bright
   Waves glisten, the water listens

Late afternoon, a chill return
   Waters merge,...

God whispers through the silence
Awakening my heart’s impression
With tender faith and tranquility
Gentle inspirations to calm my spirit
~
God sighs through stunning rainbows
Lifting up the one who is downhearted
With sweetest colors of creativeness
Sent through the clear, multihued skies
~
God breathes expressions of satisfaction
Sending contentment to the troubled soul
With...

Inside I scream but no one listens   
to mental ache attached to my brain.
Darkness prevails as daylight glistens
and my existence gradually wane.

Thought is distorted from right to wrong
unclear of direction up or down.
Not really sure of where I belong
so alone in my sorrows...

Loud Chants, rattling of Bells during 
"Aarti" in Temple
"Azaan" in Mosque
"Mass" in Church
 
is heard by PEOPLE ..... 

But
also heard by 
Sick, Elederly people
Students preparing for Exams
Cattles resting
Birds on way to Nest

And
also creates NOISE POLLUTION

But 
GOD prefers listening Prayer in SILENCE
HE knows how not to...

We have two ears
But many people can’t still hear
Different contexts
Breed different blockages
People often write because no one listens

Marriages can fall apart
Because partners often don’t listen to each other
Defending their cause
They give themselves applause
Not realizing the cause can be a listening deficit!

People often write because no...

Wind has wide mouth, 
Mouth like river pouring out,
Clutching with an over-bite, 
Whispering closed to our antennas. 
Who possessed secrets? Enigma 
Nothing is cloak-and-dagger.
We all have bad blood 
And breathe air thick with gossip

Matters after closed doors 
Escaped through holes in small traps; 
Walls do...

The Darkest DAY
Billows of Darkness 
Surrounding a Broken Heart 
Breathe deep smothered LOVE

Keep squeezing, squeeze the life out of me My WIFE went over THAT RAILING,
And so does my LIFE  All of a sudden a tidal wave of Doctors, Nurses :  Flailing
I could...

Nobody listens anymore,
For to listen, is a talented gift
a blessing to be, still, found.
For everybody wants to be heard,
And the noise of trying to get in a word
is so, deafening a sound.

That nobody listens anymore
and some pretend to listen with half an ear
then, half the...

The largest planet
Sanctioned by the sky father
Holding my secrets
Night sky bright named for a God
Jupiter listens...

When troubles and snares spread to cover my path
When people around me spew hatred and wrath
When pain and confusion is all I can see
I cry to my King, and He listens to me

When nighttime has fallen and I cannot see
When heartache and sorrow are covering...

Night listens to my dreams
And tells me what they mean
I dreamt the moon was blue
A wan and pallid hue
I'm told because of you

Dreams of sky in motion
Mirrored on the ocean
The dream it couldn't stay
The tide washed clouds away
I'm told pain comes in waves

I dreamt you...

I spoke with Reverend Laura today.

She listened curiously
more than merely patiently,
actively
more than barely politely,
as I noticed her questions
in this sacred space
of co-empathic listening,
dialogue,
discussion,
discernment

Of where we are heading
and behinding,
progressing
and healing,
to speak with other Reverends
and Doctors
and Nurses
and Nurses Aides
and Home CareGivers,
and Mediators
and Healthy Communication System Facilitators,
and Parents
and...
