Stillborn by elfico(m): 1:22pm On Apr 15, 2017
All rights reserved.

The chirping of birds
That pierced the air
Gave way to silence
As the clocks chimed

Long nights of screams
That almost healed the deaf
Seemed to be drawing close
Replaced by hushed voices

But the tress refused
To dance to the winds tune
And the cockerels crow
Was more of a whisper

Feet that would have danced
Quietly moved away
Treading the hard earth
As if it was borne of glass

Only a whimpering sound
That came from the room
Broke all that was still,
still as the baby born

Nice work here, sir
