SWEET NOTHINGS TO DREAM BY #51

[Cheryl Russell]

I listened to the birds talk today
Even though I could not quite understand
I could tell they had a lot to say.
Doesn’t it seem that way with people too?
Everyone squawking about too much ado
Sometimes what we really need to do
Is LISTEN to our OWN WORDS?
Listen from our hearts
Before we can be heard
Otherwise, the only one’s who will understand us
Will be the BIRDS.

I liked this for the Shakespeare reference and the idea that unless we listen to ourselves, our ramblings might just be "for the birds." Thanks, Cheryl.
