 Does It Make a Sound?


"If a tree falls in the forest

And no one is around to hear it,

Does it make a sound?"


Does the soul of a guitar

Play a tune just by itself,

If there's no one

To caress its strings?

Or does it stay

Silent

Somewhere

Alone

In a corner,

Leaning against the wall,

Covered in the dust of

Forgotten melodies?


Does the soul of a poet

Live and breathe

If no one reads

Their words,

Their lonely poems

Long forgotten?

A poet's voice -

Does it make a sound

If no one is around to hear it?

Does it make a sound?
