A free verse poem about thoughts.

Just Thinking

God gave us two ears

And one mouth,

I believe that means

We should listen

Twice As much as we talk.

Very few people catch

Subconscious meanings

When someone tells us

Something; personal

Or not, there is always

And underlying theme.

I think we should

Try harder to listen

To the words not said,

Someone talks to us

For a reason, though

Often we think they

Just like to talk.

People always express

Themselves in hidden

Ways;  perhaps they

Are not even aware

Of what they really

Want to get out

Of you or into them.

Just thinking.

    I agree with you, some people have trouble asking for help, or need spiritual support and they only way to seek it is by talking. Most of the time as you mentioned we are not even aware of the underlying need.

    Your are right. Listen more and talk less. People don’t realize that.
