Listen...
Take a moment,
Stand in my shoe
It will become clear
You will understand
It isn’t really such a tall demand
This is not a competition
You are not required to agree
Your consent is not necessary
You simply need to represent the person you say you are to me
My Companion,
My Lover,
My Friend,
My Confidant,
The one to...

hmmmmmmm, "we" all know that yet we don't know that! I have learnt to say to my mouth stop moving and listen
DeleteTo listen and really hear without being totally consumed with yourself if not much to ask of anyone whom professes to love another. God did not intend for relationships to be onesided or filled with selfcentered intention. He commands that we treat one another as we would ourselves, not to be full of ones self.
ReplyDeleteProfound my friend. Full of truth. You are blessed with a great talent.
God bless you and may your weekend be filled with His love and peace.

You are right, it is not much to ask in theory, it is in practice where we sometimes falter.
DeleteI just can’t get enough of your words. You have such a flare, wonderment and gift of use of them. This listening thing, I am trying to hear more. It is a daily struggle for me to kick the extra voices, that crowd my capacities, out of my head - - they don’t pay me any rent monies for their occupancies. LOL

Keeping focused on those that need us to simply listen at times can be challenging.
DeleteThis is really important, feels like you are speaking to me directly. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed important, you are welcome.
DeleteThat was nice. And what resonated with me is the line "This is not a competition." And if we can understand that, I think it will not be so hard to learn how to listen.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely...
DeleteLike Lionel Richie always says, words are the bridge to your heart...
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it.....
DeleteIn the infamous lyrics of Lionel Richie, words are the bridge to your soul...
ReplyDeletehmmmmm.....words are powerful which is why we should all endeavor to you them more wisely.
DeleteYour simply need to represent the person agree to my confidant you are to me.

Agree to Disagree is a good way at times, it is the understanding one is looking for not necessarily the agreement.

Writing blank verses is fantastic. I like the way you paint a picture of expectancy. This is a very sweet poem.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment and great analysis
DeleteWhen you write it like that, things seem so simple, but it becomes so difficult to otherwise explain to someone just what you mean! Loved this one.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, yes often times the theory of something is a lot easier that practice.
Deletethank you
