SILENCE
Silence overcomes me, surrounds me and puts my heart at ease.
Nothing can be heard but a lone dove, cooing for it's love who will never answer back.
The virgin snow sparkles, reflecting the crescent moon, sending millions upon millions of lights to illuminate everything they dare to touch.
The dove departs, and all is quiet again.
As it takes off, the branch bids a silent goodbye as the tiny stars fall through the crisp air to join the rest.
The snow-covered ground creaks, welcoming each new flake into her arms.
They are her children, and as the sun slowly peeks over the hills, she silently weeps for them.
Her tears stream down her face as each child disappears.
The friendly sun invites a rainbow of colors to spread across the sky, stealing more and more happiness from the earth.
The moon fades away, camouflaged by the radiant light.
The tears dry up as fast as they are being released, affirming that the millions of deaths will never be avenged.
The screams are silenced by the light, and the beautiful night's cold air is replaced by the warm aurora of a new beginning.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Silence overcomes me, surrounds me and puts my heart at ease.
