Shut Up and Listen!

He said it, pretty clear
But it bounced of her ear
She heard
what she wanted to hear

In two bubbles
They kept speaking
In two frequencies
They kept talking

He understood
Or rather did not
From his perspective
She understood
Or rather did not
From her perspective

This human skill
Of moving the air in between
To communicate
Is all pretty cool
But we should be trained
To listen right from pre school

This inspiring quote
"SHUT UP and LISTEN"
Is so very true

Listen to the strong and weak
Listen to both friend and foe
To understand do seek
A journey to another's mind
We need to undergo

Assimilate what we have heard
Listen to the beat of their heart
Listen to the ripples in our mind
Let the idea shared
germinate in our soul
Then and then only speak
