Listen within

In the silence

I will centre within

Listening for the hidden language of my heart

At times the world seemed to encourage me to live

So far apart

From this connection with myself

It taught me that heads and minds and appearances and bodies

Were what counts

That looking good and stepping up was the way to live

But now that I see the myriad of ways

In which my soul can be led astray

I understand how important it is

To spend time centering

And listening within

To the resonant echoes

Inside the silence

And when I feel tempted to loneliness

I will instead

Paying heed to the still small voice

That connects me to truth

And then I will know

That part of me is never completely alone

But connected to love

A part of everything
