Listening is an art I wish to learn.
To hear beneath the words of others the flow of their life
And what they hold within that rhythm.
But also to float on the surface of their meaning
And catch the gleams of significance thereupon.
Will this knowledge startle my mind
Enough to kindle new understanding?
When we sit together in silence,
Will the unspoken conversation continue?
A susurration from our common heart
With no bruit to indicate disease?
Yes. I hope. Yes.
