Unvented Words

A walking tree once walked;

It came across a man,

But continued to walk,

Without even stopping by

It walked and walked

Passed the same road

Again and again

Without hesitation

The girl remained

As quiet as she is

Curiousity was stirred

So the tree asks:

"Why so quiet my dear?

Why even the littlest noise

What our puny ears can hear

Cannot harken your voice?"

For a moment,

she was hesitant;

But still she uttered

not a single word

As tears began to fall

The tree decided to stay-

Though that is all

there is to say
