by James Lehan Paulin

Listen to the whisper of the soul

Close the door to other senses

First hear the message as a whole

For clarity drop all defenses

 

Hear the voice held deep within

Ignored so long it may be meek

Focus as to detect a dropped pin

Try hard if it’s the truth you seek

 

Respond freely with open heart

Sight and smell will be newfound

Touch and taste as a fresh start

How powerful is the quietest sound
