Finally

-Alas, the earth rested and peace was welcomed throughout

-Man, woman and child were no more by sunset

-The animals of the earth could smell the pending sleep of humanity which was to come

-Twigs of trees, like arms, waved in surrender, thirsting for a

new day

-The sun, moon and stars gave notice to all living creatures that relief was in wait of the

horizon

-All waters grew still with murmerings as though a supersonic call, ushering in worldwide peace, had washed upon the atmosphere...waters and atmosphere speak a common language.

-The wind breathed the secret of eternity, “7 days,”audible to all living, save for those erected and recycled of the dust. The dusters, as rarely described, are a bit hard of hearing...fatefully, to their demise.
