Be Still

Just responding, no understanding, no awareness, no thought, no compassion, no empathy, no feeling, The need to feel heard, The need to voice your opinion The need to feel pride The ego that grows, STOP! STOP! STOP! SHUT UP! LISTEN! Be Silent LISTEN! Understand! Comprehend every word spoken, Feel that emotion, Begin to be open Be aware of what is spoken, Your heart will fill with compassion, The stillness of moment in empathy, All you have to do is listen and understand.
