Listen to Hear

Listen to the silence - all that you hear

comes in rhythms through the beat of your heart.

Listen as your truth bubbles out from within

and you can feel negativities depart.

Listen as more kindness, compassion and laughter

work to end human sorrow and pain.

Listen to the changes that are happening now,

to the freedoms we are starting to gain.

Listen as we awake and move toward peace

as we advance with neighbours and friends.

Listen as we see past our masks and our veils

and we no longer need to pretend.

Yes - listen with your heart to your own truthful song

and you may be surprised that you hear

the beat of thousands of like-minded hearts

in a truth that’s melodious and clear.

Now - hear the owl as it hoots for a mate

and the loons as they call to their young.

Hear the roar of the grizzly protecting its turf

and the otters that play in the sun.

Hear the wolf as it howls at the moon in the night

and the squirrels as they chatter and scold.

Hear the freedom and balance that Nature displays

as birth, life and death unfold.
