The Sound of Nothing

The Sound of Nothing
 
What sound does Nothing make?
 
The sound of quiet
 
A soothing sound
 
Or a lonely one?
 
What if it is neither?
 
What if it is both?
 
The sound of the non-existent wind
 
Tunelessly whistling
 
The sound of trees
 
Silently dancing
 
The sound of a river
 
Lapping gently
 
The sound of rain
 
Beautiful in its ignorance
 
The sounds of Nothing
 
Because they are ignored
 
They are silent, one and all
 
Because you choose them to be
 
Maybe one day
 
We can once again
 
Hear
 
The Sound of Nothing.
