Shh



Quiet

 












Shhh
Quiet
Where are the noises of yesterday?
Trucks rumbling, growling, up the hill
Braking noisily again at the bottom.
Shh
Where are the birds?
No sweet singing
No honking in flight
No buzzing of bees and humming birds.
Shh
Where are the calls of children, laughing on their
Way to school
Playing tag in the neighborhood,
Kick the can and mother may I
Shh
Where are the dogs?
Yapping at passersby
Howling at strangers
Growling with a stick in their mouths
Wrestling
shh
I am alone
And its too
Quiet
Shh
