What do you want to Hear?
My sound?
Is a silent night, I have no music
no beats, or rhythem.
My sound?
Crickets on a summer day.
When I was born they sang.
My sound?
Is a soft noise
like cotton hitting the ground.
My sound?
Is no breeze through the weeds.
My sound?
It is like a frozen stream,
soft snowflakes muffling me.
My sound?
Is noticed mostly
by people with finger in their ears.
My sound?
Is no more than a whisper.
So listen close if you want to hear.
