Simple Poem by Robert Gallagher

Simple

Rating: 5.0


Simple really

Stop

Just stop

Listen

Listen to the traffic on the road

Listen to the traffic in your head

It goes nowhere

Nowhere at all

The traffic comes faster than it goes

Roaring past

To be endured

Listen

Listen to something else

Listen to the voice in the trees

Listen to the quiet voice in the heart

It goes home

Home, where you belong

It will come as fast as you let it

Rushing in

To be embraced


Allow it

Let it be

Listen

Simple really
