Listen
Listen
Do you hear the forest sing?
Of course not
It's choking
stifled
By exhaust
as pinning pines burn
Listen
Listen
The birds chime bellows
ushering not morning
But a slow lamentful drowning
No thrashing, No screams
Only sinking,
slowly, into the deep
Who?
Who?
Do you hear the owl’s question?
Of course not
Would he keep asking
If an answer came forth?
His wisdom to be ignored
Forevermore
Listen
Listen
The beats become rests
Can you hear the silence?
The wailing?
Or the whimpers
Of the crows?
Soon to be
Nevermore
Nevermore
