Listen And Learn. Poem by Tor Magnor Solvang

Two ears, one mouth, that
is true,
Listen more, and learn anew.

Words that swirl, a muddy track / Once complaints rise, there's no turning back.

Speaking loud, a rushing stream,
Blocks the light, a fading dream.

When silence falls, a chance to see,
Another's world, for you and me.

No gossip spills, no complaints soar,
Just quiet minds that want to explore.

Your views are yours, that's surely true,
But learning comes from listening too.

Words that swirls, a muddy track,
Complaints arise, there's no turning back.

Your views, a flag upon the hill,
But silence lets wisdom instill.

Listen close, with open mind,
Truth and beauty you will find.

So quiet now, and lend an ear,
Listening helps knowledge appear.
