Silent Listening

Silent Listening

 

Do you hear it, or

is it too noisy?

Are your thoughts

yelling, telling you

to get busy, no time to waste?

Is your cell phone buzzing

bringing unimportant tweets?

Listen now . . .

Is that a bird singing softly,

awakening you at sunrise,

bringing a message of life?

Are you tranquil enough,

to hear the silent knocking

at your door,

bringing comfort to your heart?

Can you sense the whisper

that we do not hear,

the whisper we can only feel,

deep inside,

so soft that you know,

you can only hear it in silence?

Listen in silence, for

these noiseless shouts

are God, loving you.
