Listen
Wait, listen. Hush, listen Its in the wind. listen closely When the birds sing listen As the waves come crashing listen The owl hoots in the dark, listen Open your ears and listen a while Mystery comes undone in them The small and silent are books Read the sounds and understand Tap into the ether and learn For the birds are wiser than Solomon Listen to the songs they sing The songs of joy and songs of fear Watch for when they fly and whence For in that lies the key to survival Beg the little ant to give speech Beg him for the secrets to all The cockroach was at the beginning At the creation of matter and time The fish has been to the very depths He has seen the most unseen At the place where the sun cant shine Listen when the water is still The subtle ripples will take it to you Look to the east when the sun rises Follow its path across the sky west Look keenly and learn to live Listen, hush, listen my brother Eavesdrop into the raindrop as it falls Peek
