as it echoes

July 3, 2018 by Michael Guerin

i’m not naive
enough to believe
that a well said word
if properly heard
makes a damn bit of difference
in the end. but as a deeply felt
note can split the night
the only choice left
is to cast your voice
across the silence
and let it echo into void
for its own sake
even if no one ever bothers
to stop or listen.
