What Do You Hear?

Photograph & Poem Copyright By Suzanne J. Fernald

What Do You Hear

Do you hear the quiet

Are you alone?

Do you hear outside nature calls or busy traffic?

Are you yearning for another?

What do you hear

When you talk with another?

Is it your voice you hear

Can you stop and hear another speak?

Do you hear

And listen – really listen? (self control)

What do you hear?

Compassion, Grace, Worthiness

You are valuable and have a voice.

A voice to hear, a voice to care.

An ear to Hear, Learn, Seek, Transform

Can you hear?

It’s the call

Waiting for you to listen and act.
