I have published as an audio as well as visual.

One to one… They meet,                     maybe across a table.

A soulless room, wet with tears,         thick with pain.

STOP!!!

Please!…. Just listen,                           before you fail me.

For a poem is not just sound                      it is silence as well.

We fail to listen to understand         whilst providing rapid response.

The empathetic listening ear,      changes ways of thinking.

We listen… We learn.. of others,          hopes, failures, fears and dreams.

Unselfish connections in this     absorbed and troubled world.

Unconditional listening, an art form.. not achieved by all.

Creating a deeper bond of empathy, the trade begins.

Come quietly                                              into my world                                            and allow me                                                to be me.

Failure comes when ears are closed.
