vulnerable hearing

 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
