Quiet, be quieter than a tree

Posted on August 10, 2018 by

Quiet, be quieter than a tree
listen to it prattle away:
Quiet, be quieter than grass
listen to it grow:
Quiet, be quieter than your heart
listen to what it’s saying to you:
Yes, those who have ears to hear

A forest floor of lights, blinking gently
