I heard a sweet sound,
That echoed through the forest.
I heard a sweet echo,
That rung through the trees.
It was not a beast,
That walked in the wilderness.
It was not a beast,
It was a sweet song to sing.
But one day the sound disappeared,
sang no more to me.
It's voice faded from my heart,
silenced in my soul.
Voices never sang so sweet,
Bows never touched the string.
Tears never fell,and
Hearts never leaped.

I heard a sweet sound,
That echoed through the forest.
I heard a sweet echo,
That rung through the trees.
It was not a beast,
That walked in the wilderness.
It was not a beast,
It was a sweet song to sing.
But one day the sound disappeared,

It's voice faded from my heart,
silenced in my soul.
Voices never sang so sweet,
Bows never touched the string.
Tears never fell,and
Hearts never leaped.
I actually wrote this for a High School poem assignment, I could hear the phrase, "A Sound In The Woods" echo in my mind, so I wrote it down and figured out a text off of it. I actually end up entering it into a anthology of young poetry!
