listen louder

speak less and listen louder, little one
your old patterns are unraveling undone

carry these whispers throughout your way
be patient here, it’s worth the stay

i cannot see the point” you think
watch as others find the well and take a drink

plan not any one step ahead
sleep silently in your slippery bed

dream of a world your heart knows is true
the future awaits in sunrise before you

trust her rays, the sun spreads far
how else could she reach the moon and his stars?

follow faithfully through any wrath
one day i promise you’ll be pleased with this path

a first version of this was written in August 2018
at the time, my husband and i were in a long distance relationship
poetry became a balm for my loneliness
