I want to listen
Listen with intention

You feel like you’re
drifting off again,
losing your sense of self

You’re the same as I left you
on that summer day
thoughtful and listless
as the spring churns in May

Raining tears of hopefulness
as finding your voice
with me

You’re the same you
as you whistle,
bursting through the haze

The same you,                                                               consistently
arriving in your best of ways.

I cry at the thought,
the reality that I’m still,
getting to that place,
where I deserve you

I hope you know
You’re all I need
when I yearn to listen with intention.

You’re all I need

    Beautiful piece. I yearn to do a better job of listening with intention too. It’s such an important aspect of communication.

      It really is, actually hearing someone or hearing God or whomever you believe in. I’m working on trusting him that all work out. It’s hard but I’m working on it. There’s a lot of change happening lol
