The Sound of Music
Once someone heard
The vibration of the universe
As it went bouncing all around
And called it sound.
Then somewhere farther
Down the line
Someone heard that sound in time
And called it music.
In another scant few billion years
When the sun is dead and there's
No life because no planet left will bear it,
That noise, no doubt, will still abound
But will make a more forlorner sound.
What good is music
If no one's around to hear it?
