LISTEN
by Mark Campbell
Listen—
As you would for rain When the fields are dry. Listen—
As you would for birds When the night won't end. Listen—
As you would to a child When they share a dream. Listen—
As you would to the words Of a dying friend. Listen. Do not make a noise. Do not intrude.
Only listen, Even it it’s painful, Even if it’s ugly, Even if it hurts to hear, Allow another their turn. Listen close, Listen pure, Listen true. Listen, Listen To learn.
