You know that saying

“If a tree falls in a forest,

and no one hears it,

does it actually make a sound?”

And I always laugh

Because who are we to say

That the birds didn’t cry

The caterpillars didn’t curse

The flowers didn’t gossip

And the dirt didn’t gasp?

Oh human kind, always revolving the world around themselves

Remember where you come from

Remember where you will go

Then, you will be humbled

And you will know

That the tree indeed made a sound

You just weren’t listening.
