LISTENING

Living to learn the expression
of us, of ourselves.
Much longing, unfulfilled, lingers
in the air, stilled, craving meaning.

We grow in order to understand
our own purposefulness,
asking questions relentlessly
as we tentatively step forwards.

Words mask our truer voices:
in learning, let not our greed
diminish our loving.
