When Someone Deeply Listens To You
When Someone Deeply Listens To You
it is like holding out a dented cup you have had since childhood
and watching it fill up with cold fresh water.
When it balances on the top of the rim
you're understood
When it overflows and touches your skin
You are loved
When someone deeply listens to you
the room where you stay starts a new life
and the place where you wrote your first poem
begins to blow your mind's eye
It's as if gold has been discovered.
When someone deeply listens to you
your bare feet are on the earth
and the beloved land that seemed distant
is now at home within you.
