sound haiku
comment from Eileen gives author hope
whisper if you hear
shout and lose touch with nature
listen, understand
vulnerable hearing
An original poem by MaryJane Nordgren
i am so open when i listen
my being seeps in between
the words, hears, and is changed
at times that is all that is needed
for the speaker hears self and knows
from within who is and what must be
others wallow in the unjust, the pain
is for spreading in guise of compassion
i cannot listen – i turn away to heal
