when silence ruled...



when the sky seeks to break the night into day, the moon stood still. when dawn dipped to depart, dusk went slowly away. when the morning dew fell the ants felt too weary. the water was wasted. it dripped without a dent as the earth opened up and sipped it all away. all these in silence as time ticked tirelessly. all these as my eyes went to sleep for just a day.

you think what more are there to be left unnoticed as the waves went to shore. what more are there to be left wasted without a heart to see it soar. what dreams are there to be left to drown when there are no flying balloons. what lives are there to be wasted as the years turn to boil. as the fire slowly simmer there's nothing left to roast. as the sky tries to break this gridlock, the sun rose.

doing this in silence as its rays warmed the cold. as the burning mind doused by the rain, so silence could reign once more. this is to be repeated as the minutes move along. as the moon waves goodbye so a new day could be born. a new beginning, a new hope for a new dawn once more.

where dusk will just be a flickering memory in our minds but surely this is not for long. for the night is just an inch away ready with its claws. to grasp us, to hug us, to hypnotize us until it can't anymore. because the leaves have fallen off, the flowers have wilted, the grass was burnt and the mountains had moved. so silence can reign for eternity where sound is useless, music is no longer needed because life had ended and love was lost...
