All The World Stood Still
(author wants to remain anonymous)
Out in the country, far from town
A farmhouse on a hill
The roosters crow
And fall leaves blow
But all the world stands still
A skelton key
It waits for me
And fear consumes my will
A child cries
And something dies
and yet the world stands still
It’s dark ..it’s cold
The bricks are old
I’m left to feel the chill
And souls are born
As I am torn
While all the world stands still
A raven’s eye
Can watch me die
As crying fades to shrill
The blood was healed
As fate was sealed
While all the world stood still
