I step, you talk, I listen,
A bird flies from one tree,
I step, I listen, you talk,
The bird joins others winging to sea,
You talk, I listen, I stand
As a breeze comes off the land
Shaking the last birds from the tree
That follows the others to the sea,
I turn, I listen, you listen
But only briefly pause
Wondering the turn's cause.
I step, you talk, I listen.

Gloom
Adapted from (part of ) "Teacher and Student" by Li Mu of T'ang Dynasty"

Wondering the turn's cause.
I step, you talk, I listen.
I must remember to listen more ~~~
