Listen and Be Still

Listen. 
Be still.
Breathe deeply.

Take pen
to paper.

Listen.
Be still.
Breathe deeply.

Write thoughts.
Empty the mind.

Listen.
Be still.
Breathe deeply.

Pen glides,
thoughts flow.

Listen.
Be still.
Breathe deeply.

Pen moves,
Feelings seep through cracks.

Listen.
Be still.
Breathe deeply.

Reveal,
deep feelings.

Reveal,
feelings,
won’t admit.

Reveal,
deep hopes,
deep dreams.

Feelings inside,
cannot be true.
Cannot be denied.

Write both good and bad.
Write until the well runs dry.

Write.
Be still.
Listen.
Free your soul.
