It was so silent that I heard
my thoughts shuffle
like trees in the wind.

It was so peaceful that I heard
the trees blowing in the wind.

It was so silent that I heard
the leaves falling down.

It was so silent that I heard
the  sun and moon
whisper to its neighbour,
“I want to stay here”. 

It was so still that I felt
a raindrop grin
as it trickled down the leaves.

It was so calm that I sensed
a smile crack the face
of a stranger like freezing ice.
