When the Earth Stops

Silence falls like velvet on the dawn,

A breath held in the hush of dawn.

When the earth pauses in her spin,

Time whispers softly, deep within.

Animals frozen in their chase,

Stars hold their shimmer, lost in space.

Laughter and screams blend in the air,

Colors of chaos laid bare.

In this pause, existence rewinds,

A moment where eternity binds.

When the earth stops, hearts align,

In stillness, all worlds entwine.

Love's eternal, peace's embrace,

In that frozen, sacred space.

Waves of laughter, waves of cries,

Echoes in the silent skies.

Smoke curtains painted black,

Sky's tears, a smoky track.

Birth and death in silent dance,

All paused in life's last glance.

Music's whistle, deafening and bold,

A story of life retold.

In death’s embrace, life’s deep voice,

In this stillness, we rejoice.

When the earth stops, hearts align,

In stillness, all worlds entwine.

Love's eternal, peace's embrace,

In that frozen, sacred space.

Stars unblinking in the night,

Seas stare like spiny fright.

Dust casts shadows in the void,

Silent worlds, unalloyed.

Here in pause, we understand,

All are held in a gentle hand.

When the earth resumes her dance,

Hope renews with every chance.

But in that moment, pure and free,

We find our eternity.

When the earth stops, just for a breath,

A fleeting pause before life’s next step.
