There is a difference

Listen to the voice,
Not the words spoken,
There is a difference.
 
Between before and after,
There is silence,
And there too peace must linger.
 
But what gets said becomes all that anyone is after.
 
We don't linger... We chase that which is always already there and then deny it.
 
Listen to the voice,
And the words spoken,
They are the same.
 
It is your voice and should always be followed.
