Listen because you want to

Listen because you want to

Not because the voice you hear

Is the loudest

Whisper me a truth

There are so few

I believe

Is not a fact

But it makes a slave

Of all who fail to question

Meaning

Searching is an exercise

In self discovery

But acceptance

Is also an affirmation

To be inferred

From a soul

Contented

Never judge

What is not understood

Beatitude

Comes in many guises

There is no uniform

To address

Right my wrong

Too late is not a reason

To pass on by

Consider this

Without prejudice

Wear it well

As a smile is

A warm welcome

So too is an outstretched

Hand

Clasp it

Hold a heart gently

In its beating

Lies the harmony

To bring us all together.
