Silence Now

 

And now there’s silence now

No wings above the sky

Waiting in terminal

Turmoil

They wail

As hope

Dies

 

Frozen for weeks on end

Rocking their loved ones inside

Until they receive the news

The news

The news

 

But now there is silence now

I hope there are wings of comfort to guide you inside

That the wail will subside

And the calmness of love given will help you

Survive.
