Bethany Maxwell - Listen

Listen to the vines with the thorns
For they are the tricksters
Listen to their wisdom

Listen to the trees
For they are the sages
Listen to them whisper their knowledge in your ear

Listen to the leaves
For they are the talkers
Listen to them talk

Listen to the stream
for it is the dreamer
Listen to its dreams

Listen to mother nature
For she is their mother
Listen with her for she is your mother too
