EVERYTHING IS STILL

We were joyful sounds together--
Each moment had a meaning.
Life was worth living--'til now.
Not a thing seems to rhyme
Clocks all keep a different time
Nothing makes sense anymore--

Since you walked out that door,
Birds all sing a sad song now
Chipmunks are not playing
Palm leaves are not swaying
The breeze whispers,"Goodbye"
Everything is still!

Mountain streams want to flow
To valleys far below
But cannot find their way
Flowers want to grow and bloom
But fade away too soon,
Much too soon.

The sun does not come forth
or shine,for it knows,somehow,
You're no longer mine--
Now, everything is still--
Still. . . . . . . . .
So still. . .
