Song Of The Moment

Silent/Listen


Imagine
How different life would be
If instead talking so much
We all started listening

If instead of yelling at someone about something
And blaming them as the cause of it
You just shut up and listened
Perfectly silent.

If instead of being mad at someone
And not hearing their explanation
You became silent and listened
And eliminated a complication

Some of the most brilliant minds
Rarely uttered a word.
They absorbed knowledge through silence
But they were never heard

Even therapists who help patients
They only speak for a little bit
They just sit back in silence and listen
And leave the talking to the patient

Try it for a day
And see what comes to fruition
Stay silent as long as possible
And just listen

Then when your life improves
And you realize how wrong you’ve been
You can avoid the unnecessary drama
And enjoy the peace you’ve been missin’

It’s funny how one small and simple action
Could bring so many others into fruition.
Is it a coincidence that the word silent
Has the same letters as the word listen?
