You always have to have an answer
To every why and every what
Its like a rotting horrid cancer
That eats your inner trust

Time to slow the pace and let down your sails to drift
Stop talking and just hear your life
To listen is a gift

Don't just listen with your ears but with your entire being
Because only when you soak it up will everything have meaning
Everyone thinks that talking is a skill. That writing,  singing, and exclaiming is a skill. These surely are wonderful gifts. But to listen with all you have, in every way, not just with your ears but with you entire being; that takes effort.  And the rewards are indescribable.
