Just Listen- a Poem by Jack Hirsch

I will continue listening to the sweet music of the world until the last song is played.
I will continue to love, to be, to be in love with life.
My internal rhythms are also the world's rhythms.
Sometimes the things you don't want to see are the things you need to take a
closer look at.
I may not have much, but what I have is more than enough.
All I have is really all I need. Sometimes learning to live with less
is really learning to live with more. Less is really more?
more or less. As I hike in nature I cease to be but have become the trees, the
mountains, the cool breeze. The lakes, the geese even the squirrel who
scurries away.
Yes everywhere in life is an interconnection.
At every moment you are part of all things.
Never forget that within you is divinity.
The music continues to play.
You just have to remember to listen.
