Right now:
Birds flutter in the trees.
Wind bursts in gauzy gusts,
To tumble leaves,
In a gentle breeze
Children are playing in a park.
Water fountains splash about,
And a gentle song sings,
To praise the arrival of the icecream King.
In this moment everything is full of life.
Then everything stops.
And everything is silent.
Not even the wind dares sigh -
For they know
A bloodshed is happening.
They remember those who fell,
Those who will fall,
Those who are falling right now.
Journeying to the silent land
Where everything is blank.
A raindrop breaks the moment,
Loud and defining...
But life does not continue normally,
For they know more silence is coming.
