LISTEN

 

  

Listen to the silence,

So peaceful and so calm,

Feel secure in the silence,

For it will do you no harm.

 

Listen to the wind,

Feel it upon your face,

Watch it blow the leaves around,

At a fast and furious pace.

 

Listen to the rain,

As it sends its torrents down,

Watch the raindrops dance,

As they fall upon the ground.

 

Listen to the snowflake,

As it gently finds its way,

To join the snow covered earth,

For snow has come to stay.

 

All these things are around us,

Listen and you will find,

The quietness all around you,

Will give you peace of mind.
