Be Heard, Listen First

Our profile picture

Is just one angle of us

The visions I post

Might not be

Me at my most

We are getting up close

Can we be  true to  ourselves?

*

All strong and kind

Sharing our mind

Caring about time

And knowing what a picture’s worth

We are down to earth

With a thousand words

That won’t be heard

Unless they listen first

**

You have listened to me

I know that you have

Or we wouldn’t be going down this avenue together

Through any kind of weather

If there’s sunshine we’re glad

When we enjoy time, it’s better

**

So unrefined

Expressing our mind

Caring about time

Consider the big picture first

In our lives we’re immersed

We know what it’s worth

We need to be heard

Saying only fair words

**

Its not absurd

Fair words in context

Should not be obscured

By a little blue bird

We must have some say

We will make our way

Don’t think worse

Break the curse

I’ll push the verse

Wish I could just

Be less pressured

And the world was cured

So that each one of us could

Please rest assured…

**

Our nature picture

Is just one piece of life

The visions I post

Might not be

Something to toast

But I’m getting up close

I work hard to be true to myself 

*

All strong and kind

Sharing my mind

Caring about time

And picturing peace on Earth

For what it is worth

No bubbles burst

But we won’t be heard

Unless they listen first
