Love Is Just Waiting Till You Stop and Listen

You're far away from the words I follow. You only hear when the wind is hollow. Looking for wisdom. Looking for answers, but I'm right here. You run the gauntlet on a fuel filled mission. Jumping at the chance to prove your vision. Looking for wisdom. Looking for answers, but I'm right here. Love is just waiting til you stop, and listen Assert yourself with a firm decision. Holding on the past and childhood tradition. Looking for wisdom. Looking for answers, but I'm right here. An iron fist will defeat the opposition. Try to get the edge, and the perfect position. Looking for wisdom. Looking for answers, but I'm right here. Love is just waiting til you stop, and listen. You're running out of road so you find a new profession. Pumping at the gym, you're reaching your ambition. Looking for wisdom. Looking for answers, but I'm right here. You wake up one morning and you give me your attention. Tell me that you love me and you watch me cry. Finally you take a deep breath. Hold me and listen. (written as a song - https://soundcloud.com/inspiraller/love-is-just-waiting-til-you-stop-and-listen)

Steve, I'll tell you the truth: I really like this poem. The imagery, the flow, the message--all are beautifully implemented. Bravo for composing an excellent piece (wish I had written it).

Thanks paul. That's very kind of you to say. I'm not sure the actual song got much interest so i'm happy the words themselves have.
