The Song of the Earth

Hush, my child

go to sleep

Hush, my pet

please don't weep

Hush, sister

papa's deep asleep.

We're chasing silence

every day

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀why, you say

so that we may

in peace lay

and rest, not play.

But silence doesn't exist

since the big boom

the sun kissed

our sleeping Earth

and chased the gloom

from our midst.

"Om"

the sound

that shattered 

the silence

of which

there is

nevermore.

So when you put

a finger to your lips

think about the moment

that shattered the silence

and love the sounds

that bring the Earth

to life

find peace

in the crickets

⠀in the children's play

⠀⠀in the river

⠀in the rustling wind

in the falling leaves

and learn to sleep

in the song

of the Earth.
