“messengers”
draw nearer to yourself
and listen
to the messengers
that arrive, one by one
the emissaries and high counselors
that come to you, speaking
in the language of emotions
about the state of your heart
hoping to catch your attention
in this crowded, vexing world
they whisper and shout
about joy and sadness
and hundreds of flavors,
asking to be heard
all carrying the messages
of needs
so, draw nearer to yourself
be still and
listen
