The Day the Earth Stood Still

Upon a morn, with skies so vast and blue, A silence fell, where once the songbirds flew. The earth did pause, its breath held in suspense, A moment's change, of nature's own pretense. The streets lay bare, as whispers turned to hush, Each hurried step, now stilled in time's soft crush. In quietude, our hearts began to see, The world's swift pace, now chained, had set us free. Through stillness grew, a bond 'twixt souls apart, A dance of fate, in life's grand canvas art. We found within, a strength we never knew, As solitude our cloistered spirits drew. And thus, the day, when all stood still, we found, Our lives transformed, on silent, hallowed ground.
