When We Listen

When We listen

When we listen
we can hear the unspoken words
of the sages of the future

when we listen
the songs of the crickets
are meant to heal our souls

when we listen
we can decipher
the secret whispers
of the butterflies

When we listen
we can hear
the heart strings of a young lover
strumming like an acoustic guitar

when we listen
we can hear
the harp of our soul
playing an opus
to help us become
more aware of who we are

when we listen
there’s no telling
what sounds will resonate
to help us appreciate
the life we take for granted
all the more.

Now and Forever – In Memory of My Mom

“Now and Forever”

was the song playing on the radio

that lonely morning

as I drove to see you one

last time.

I could not sleep

thinking you might not last

through the night

and you did not.

“you are a part of me

now and forever,

and

Sometimes I wish I could always be with you

The way we used to do”

You were always there for me

and I miss you so much.

It has been 19 years to the day

you decided not to stay

and I know deep in my heart

why you could not

and it’s O.K.,

I know you found the way

to heaven.

Dear Mom,

“And I think about all the words between us

That never needed to be spoken”

“Now and forever

I will always think of you.

Now and forever

I will always think of you.”
