Listening to every heart

0 posted 2001-02-07 01:48 PM


When I Listen

just like you….
………just like you…..
I have ESP….
magic!
           ESP
thoughts transcending
space and time
and phases
and stages
and
time

just like you….
……..just like you!…..
my thoughts don’t hinge on the
thought of me….
but of you

because what I see
in this transparency
is that we are not so different
even when we differ
in our differences…
some are looking
some are not
some are keeping
what they’ve got

and I hear the stolid
feel the solid
know what rocks
know who’s the rock
I can see
who’s watching the clock
keeping love on the tick
of the tock….

and then in that ESP
I sense that
fluidity works for me....
lapping over rocks....
bubbling, babbling brooks of
delight over precious stones....

and in that fluidity
perhaps my words touch
what you see
in your day that stands
in your way
that gives you cause to say

lead me on….

and on and on and on….

and in my ESP
I hear your song, you see…

when I listen….

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

When I listen I seem to percieve so much more than when I'm the one doing all the talking...I remember my Grandad telling me ..."be a good listener and you will automatically become a good talker, talking common sense to yourself then others." I love your idea here of being able to hear the song of the other person...that's good listening and as you state there that the differences aren't as great as one might imagine, especially if one is a good listener...as usual Karilea I enjoy the creativity of your poetry....ethome

Reality seldom bears the possibilities of imagination!

Karilia--to listen well is to understand much and to understand is to be understanding...I hear your song, you see.

....YOU already know Im smiling..right...
and YOU already knew Id say this is way cool...right
and YOU already know why...  



Heaven bound on wings of love,
there's so much that you can rise above.
I surrender heart and soul,
sacrificed to a higher goal.

Kari dear heart you whisper and it speaks volumes, and when you write, the universe can hear. Love this one of course, into my library love. Sending you beaming Puckish smiles and impish delight.
Absolutely excellent, and would I have been me if I didn't say I love this. You're soaring love.
Take care as always
                   Puck shhhhh!

                      


Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
