The Cricket
What is a lonely cricket's life even worth
if no one hears it chirp?
Are we to determine it's worth,
Between it's time of death and birth?
A true adventurer as I ever did see,
A warrior who leads,
A lone survivor I admire
One of grass and trees
The cricket never lost or stopping to wonder
One step after another,
His compass: his heart,
The path is his brother
Takes the world as is for what it sees
The small ground it defeats
in it's tiny, naked life
But only tiny to me
Even when no ear to vindicate the sound
Musical leaps and bounds
A song in every step
A composer unowned
A melody just to entertain the sky
A beautiful chirping cry,
Even when no one's to listen
Even when no one's nearby
