Just listen

People everywhere are afraid,
Afraid to stop and just listen.
They fear the only thing they will hear
Is the silence.

If they forget the silence and just listen
They will hear;
The bird songs at the early hours of dawn,
The crashing of waves,
The whisper of secrets,
And so much more.

Silence occurs from egos,
Who only think if themselves.
Just listen and you will hear voices,
Other than your own.

People everywhere are afraid,
Afraid to stop and just listen.

Is the silence.
I liked these lines very much. Silence do mean a lot sometimes it is a best answer and sometimes it says many things. Well done. Beautifully written.
