Life seems rather
Still
No children out
Screaming
Less noise of
Barking dogs
No roaring sounds
From motorcycles
Or even yelling
Back and forth
No hurried footsteps
Or running shoes
Where are bicycles
New and old
It's quiet sometimes
Almost eerie
Will it be
Noisy again
Perhaps the noise
We heard before
Wasn't so bad  
After all
There is a.  time
For.quiet
But lead me
To the
Noise
