there was a stillness in the air.
no leaves rustled.
no frost crackled.
no air stirred.
no birds sung.
i didn't blink.
i didn't breathe.
i didn't feel my heartbeat.
there was a stillness in the air
to echo the lull within my chest.
no tears boiled atop my open eyelids.
no sobs escaped my tranquil lips.
there was stillness in the air.
