If they only knew

Silent yard under the quiet sky,

Shadows move where the secrets lie.

Eyes in the sky, whispers in the air,

Waiting for a clue, just a simple dare.

Home sweet home, till the moment changed,

Law's the game, all rearranged.

Grandma’s nurse, caring so kind,

Suddenly the peace was blind.

They came in like a storm, all the flashing lights,

Surrounded our front, in the dead of night.

Hands cuffed, questions fly,

Searching for truth, asking why.

Yard full of feds, under the moon,

Four hours of trouble, an endless tune.

Weed was found, but no crime else,

Just a scare in the quiet, empty well.

All the hope, it’s hanging on a thread,

The tension thick, everything’s unsaid.

What they seek is not what they find,

Just a day in the life of a restless mind.

Back to the silence, the night so deep,

Secrets buried, shadows creep.

Home again, safe’s a fragile thing,

Until next time, when the sirens sing.
