\u201cJust be still and listen\u201d Shloka Shankar<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sure, you can hear, the death knell<\/p>\n
of your dreams, the grand plans for your life<\/p>\n
that you charted as a child.<\/p>\n
Hush, but listen also<\/p>\n
for the lilting tune of the night<\/p>\n
as it calls to you from memories<\/p>\n
filling your world with delight.<\/p>\n
Listen for the sound of laughter<\/p>\n
as it tip-toes in quietly, barely heard<\/p>\n
above love, which is silent and still.<\/p>\n
There is hope yet, still your mind and listen<\/p>\n
Listen to your heart, as it carries you along.<\/p>\n
Just be still and listen. Be still,<\/p>\n
And listen as your world bursts into song.<\/p>\n
