retention ...

what is it about people
that they can't remember
anything in re: retention

First rule
in becoming human
of course
is to listen

what falls upon
the ear
is amplified
by our minds

look past the sight
of your senses
and see the
whole that lives
beyond our realm

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

To listen with you ears is all fine I am sure
Just as long as you listen without distraction
To listen with the heart plain, simple, and pure
Is to give the other the gift of satisfaction


Wonderful words and yes....it isn't hard as long as you just follow the rules...alot of people these days are far to consumed in their own affairs to really listen at all.  Great write.

MAMiller~
Certainly an interesting perspective
that we all need to remember.

'look past the sight
of your senses
and see the
whole that lives
beyond our realm'
