LISTENING

People need people to validate their dreams-
No one is independent,
We all need someone, it seems.

A speaker needs a listener
to the language of his heart.
We all need recognition-
true listening is an art.

Do you truly sense the hunger
when a person speaks to you?
Or do you struggle with impatience
to express your point of view?

We may not all be Hemingways,
or famous for our prose,
But I sense a warm comraderie
in this group that grows...and grows.
