Poetry Poem: Listen

Written by Liam

When I always did what others demanded!

When I always went when others called me!

When I always listened to what other told me!

I was lost

I’d forgotten to listen

To my-self

I’d forgotten to see

With my inner eye

I’d forgotten to decide

With my own thoughts

So easy to get lost

Amongst this all!

So simple to though to re-discover

Strength, hope and happiness

I simply decided for stillness

I decided for quietness

I decided to listen deeply

Listen to my own voice

Hidden, still soft and unobtrusive

Still all mine, truely mine

Listen to me answer those questions

Listen to me reply to those calls

Listen to me thinking about ideas

Now it’s done

I’m again in contact

I’m speaking, whispering with my deep

My inner self for

It’s only from here

Reaching out into my life

Abundance, joy and love

Follows patiently in these foot steps.
