When To Listen

Everyone is telling you how to live.

Sense and common sense meet

from time to time

and hangout with contradiction.

Contradiction doesn't know

what the other two

are so upset about.

You watch them

and walk away, their voices

fading into the breeze.

The tree beckons you to rest

beneathe its branches.

Laying on your back,

staring at the leaves,

the moisture of the grass

cools your back.

The answers appear.
