Listen
not with your mind
or with what you know
or don't know
listen to the sound that got lost
when you were a child
and learned to speak a language.
Listen
not with what you know
or don't know
listen with the innocence
of those who don't know
yet how to speak.
For them all sounds
are melodies
evoking the unborn,
the un-manifest, the verbiage
of one who does not know
how to speak.
Then you will understand
my words
even when they don't seem to mean
anything at all.
Yet they will resonate
through you
like arrows in flight
leaving a trail behind them.
Your mind won't ever
understand
but it will remember
how it felt
when the arrow of my words
cut through, leaving
behind only
one word,
listen
Listen
not with your mind
or with what you know
or don't know.
