Hush!

Inspiration comes alive
in the everyday sounds of life
There are jewels to be gleaned
by listening
One’s own voice can mask
the sweet bird songs in the dawning
Or the innocent questions asked by
a child thirsting for answers to life…

Hush!

Listen to your own heartbeat
keeping time to the pace of your world
Reflect on the silence
Through it will come your own melody
Thoughts will form in your mind
that beg for rebirth in your pen
But to open the door to inspiration
one must first learn to

Observe

Listen

and

Hush!

Beautiful, with an excellent message. I have learning to do more listening the past few years. Thank you for the encouragement to keep listening.

Hello El_Campeador, and I think we continually learn to listen...it's like an art, which takes practice.  Thank you so much for your input...it's a pleasure to see your reply...~V~

Hello James, and I think you have uncovered the most basic need of a woman...to have a man who really listens. The other half of the coin is understanding, and if you can do both, then you will be a happy man!! Thank you, my friend, and good to see you today! ~V~

I have a poem with the same title, just a little ditty really but that is where the likeness ends. This  is such a peaceful poem.Maggie
