Listen

Close your eyes . . . listen
to the sound of the silence . . .
to every beat of your heart.

listen . . . close your eyes
can you feel it?
the peacefulness deep inside you,
the love overflowing within you.

hush! . . . close your eyes
can you see?
the light above you.

are you alone?
can you feel the loneliness?
can you feel the emptiness?
but no! . . . it is something
is it happiness?

why not?
you are not alone . . .
you are not empty . . .

he's there with you . . . the light.
he's deep within you . . . the love.
he talks with you . . . listen.

can you hear him?
no . . . ?
but why?

did you take time?
do you have time?
hush! . . .
did you have time . . .
to listen?
