“Sound”
If a tree falls in the forest
it makes a sound
even if there’s no one
there to hear its fall
even if we’re all
too deaf to hear its fall
It impacts the ground
creates waves of sound
upon the air we breathe
recycles breath of those long gone
of all who ever lived
filters through the trees
that sway in the breeze
The tree lives
falls
dies
with the same air
impacts the same earth
as everyone else
Its sound is the sound of the universe.
