LISTENING

 

I hear what you say,

but do I listen?

 

Do I consider the import of your words

as you mean them,

or as they intrude on the still waters

of my own preconceived ideas?

 

With an open heart and an open mind

perhaps I could learn to understand you.

 

The question is -

do I want to?
