WHISPERS....
The world has not changed
It remains just the same
Great trees still stand tall
Rain continues to fall...Β
Dawn breaks new colours
The morning still comes
The wild birds still fly
And the sun still shines high...
The dogs are still barking
And cats lounge on walls
The wind still blows through
And the darkness still falls...
The flowers still bloom
And the bees bumble by
The moon still appears
In a star studded sky...
The ocean still rolls in
With crashes and roars
To plunder the sand
On the white sandy shores...
And yet...
It's eerily quiet
No patter of feet
No neighbours on gates
And no kids in the street...
The parks and the beaches
Are empty of sound
With only the whispers of earth
All around...
And it wants us gone...

Hi Karina...I wonder if the world will never return to normal...it's very eerie and strange now isn't it? Thankyou my friend....stay safe ?
" CHINESE WHISPERS " in " The Dark " ! Better, than stumbling around ? In, there.Β You, do not fall over your " shoe-laces " to break, your f..king neck. Of, the " woods " and the " goods " really, defining comparison, to raise the banner for " LIGHT, AND DARK, ARTS " ! In, some ways. Do you not think ? Well, refined, in comprehensive coverage, of the passing, of worthy mention, or message. To, foster intention ? Across borders, and boundaries. Like, crossing " a line " to influence opinion ? Neat concept.Β TAKE CARE.
Thankyou Richard...truly appreciate you taking the time andΒ your interesting comments my friend ?
