DOES LOVE HAVE A SOUND

Love comes in many forms,

Love felt in many ways.

But does love have a sound?

Can it be heard?

Isn't it the sound of the birds

Singing in the peaceful woods

Why do I hear them screaming

And crying for help?

I want to hear

The sound of love...

Isn't it the murmurs of the trees

In the gentle whispers of the wind?

Why do I hear them clamoring

With flying embers?

I want to hear

The sound of love...

Isn't it the sound of a child's laugh

Echoing the joy of a well-lived life?

Why do I hear their empty bellies

Begging to fill them up?

I want to hear

The sound of love...

Why can I not hear it?

Does love have a sound?

Or does this world

Deafen the ears of our hearts?

I want to hear

The sound of love...
