Listen – 23rd May 2026

Inspired by a quote by Kate Murphy found at Maia’s Tiny Hearts.
I was surprised to find that I hadn’t already written a poem simply titled ‘Listen’

Listen, they said.
(The train pulls out of the old station)

Listen to your heart.
(Blood beats in disappointment)

Your inner voice.
(Whispered lies)


Listen to your guts.
(You found your way here)

They said.


When all I needed to do
was to listen more carefully
to you.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Show Me How To Live

A long life made of nothing
Forgetting the way to live
Fill it with a life ot something
Right now – it’s all you get and give!
