Attentiveness – A Poem

to listen and to apprehend
by slowly unfolding within
the present moment

to unshackle from busyness –
the devil’s hold upon this age –
by simply being

with our eyes unshuttered and ears
unstopped in explosive, divine,
ordinary time

to hear so clear what goes unheard
to see indeed what goes unseen
like life is here now

now our eyes see saturations
and ears accept resonations
until now not found

Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
unleash attentiveness in us
hearing. vision. life.
