O that today you would listen
listen
listen
for the Voice that is
quiet enough
to be heard in a storm
and still enough
to be recognized amidst your hustle.

O that today you would listen
listen
listen
for the Heartbeat that is
steady enough
to sustain you through the cacophony
and alive enough
to provoke you to courageous living.

O that today you would listen
listen
listen
for the Tide that is
strong enough
to smooth the rough road
and vast enough
to drown out your ego’s noisy fears.
