you call us to listen,
not to scare us
out of our wits, but
so we might discover
the lost art of listening
and in the listening,
we open ourselves
our hearts, our souls
to another's words,
another's heart, another's soul,
offer them a home,
a safe haven, a hope,
a place where they
can lodge their life.
not just their words,
their hearts, their souls,
but their very silence,
that deepest, most holy
ground in any of your children.
