Poem December 29, 1986 Issue

Listen

Listen
whispers the seashell.
Hold life to your ear.
Listen.
The art of listening
contains
the art of healing.
Listen
to those who speak to you.
Listen
to yourself, too.
(You'll be surprised!)
Listen
to what the Word
is sending
into your listening ear.
Listen
to the promise
"... unto you that hear shall
more be given."^{Mark 4:24.}
And remember
that you cannot hear
unless
you
listen.
