The Fallen Tree

A tree falls down in the middle of the forest
with no one around to hear
how does it make a sound
if there isn't anyone there

A tree can be seen laying down
a person might know how it was grounded
but without being there when it happened
how can they say how it sounded

A tree might go snap,
and it might go crack,
but without being there to hear it,
it could've gone zapp

anyone can think that,
it is not a bad thing
but how can it make a sound
couldn't the tree be singing
