The world went dark; The sun shut off like a light bulb, The land turned to ice, The clouds stopped floating, And there was the absence of life. Outside It was quiet Solemn and calm And the ocean retained its glossy surface Not a pin drop Or a brontide Or a baby's soft cry can be heard Which frightened me If all these things around me Are still, Then I wonder Why I'm moving.

Still
The world went dark; The sun shut off like a light bulb, The land turned to ice, The clouds stopped floating, And there was the absence of life. Outside It was quiet Solemn and calm And the ocean retained its glossy surface Not a pin drop Or a brontide Or a baby's soft cry can be heard Which frightened me If all these things around me Are still, Then I wonder Why I'm moving.
