Speak easy to me
I will listen
Not to the words
But to you
Absorbing slowly
Sponging whats said
All that you mean
I hear your heart
Speak slowly
I will stay
desiring to learn
who you are
Understanding needs
Quietly
I am here

Sometimes all a person needs is to be listened to...it's not a difficult request...nicely penned..

believe in what your heart feels...

"Not to the words
But to you...

All that you mean
I hear your heart"

You definitely nailed the qualities of a good listener.

I have a little problem with the word, "sponging", but it's probably just me and the way my own mind works.
It tends to conjure images of sopping up a dirty spill, and such is not always the case when listening.
I still enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing,

Sid
