No judging, just loving.


Breeze blows wrapping my hair around my face.i listen for your voice.i am in the quiet, i do not speak,but listen close,for if i miss you i will regret.i take this time out of my day to hear you speak to me,where no one is but me and you,tell me what i am to do.when i speak and rumble my mouth for no good,i know i miss you.you try to speak to me,but i mumble over you.help me to shush my mouth and open my ears to your words.i do not want to miss you.So as the breeze blows wrapping my hair around my face,i listen for your voice that has longed to reach me.

I can not dwell on the past, and I will not live on what the future may hold, but yet take comfort and find perpose in the second yet to come.

I fully agree, we need to take time to just listen and we may just learn something. I really like this, keep writing. lol. :)
