Cold, silent, still

The Earth stood cold, silent, still.
The leaves are in a trance, where none must move.
The air, that once danced with such grace..

Gone.

The creatures that roamed my backyard are now hidden and scared.
The water, once so talkative and alive, now silenced and dry.

The eyes you've seen these with, now silenced but dark.
You've lost your perception, you've lost your way.
