Poetry: Listen

by Liam

So often it’s only the voice we hear

We chatter, we talk we express this and that

Why then, when it’s the heart that weeps, the heart that cries

We reach not out with these sensitive organs

That hear the feelings of another?

We all own them

We seldom use them

We desperately need them

For this language requires no words

Still the messages are sensitive and strong

Silent, speech we can hear with the heart

When we want

When we listen

When we empathize

The language is clearly understandable

It’s understandably emotional

Importantly personal .
