It is wise
to realize
you need to listen to
those who talk to you
Really listen...really hear
thoughts shared can be dear
We all have interesting things to say
and want to learn something every day
I can learn from what you have to share
know your thoughts matter and I care
Listening is an art
comes from the heart
I listen and respond
that sets me beyond
my imaginations
limitations
I've been told I am a good listener
so my mind is not a prisoner
I am open to new ideas and thoughts
too many in my head
how many have you read
poetry is a collaboration of thoughts
give and take
make no mistake
I listen to every word
your message is heard
and may end up in my poetry some day
so I can share with others some way
Thank you for your generous comments on my poetry. I read "Wisdom" and it is quite the contrasting view of my poem, but both are wisdom. I look forward to an off day so I can read more of your works. Keep writing.
