Can you hear that sound?

Can you hear that sound?

Can you hear that sound?
Sounding with the blowing winds,
Can you hear that gentle sound,
Drifting along with the breeze,
Floating messages from past times,
Surviving through the ages,
Tormented souls calling from beyond,
Can you hear that sound?
Listen and you may hear,
Soft tones from voices of old,
Can you hear that sound?
The sound which travelled through time,
That sound, faint sounding sounds,
Can you hear that sound?
With desperations in reaching your ears,
Can you hear that sound?
Listen closely, listen well,
Listen for it while you can,
Listen before it disappears,
Can you hear that sound?
No? Then it has vanished, never to return.
