The chatter and play
that made us all gay
has left the fray
as stillness comes along
where silence is a belong
bringing in a long
while there reigns a quietness
with it rises a sadness
where there is an awareness
that indicates an alertness
where one has to be careful
lest there would be a situation dreadful
releasing a scare and a dare
all at the same time absolutely bare
letting out a feeling of despondency
very awful and greatly fearful.
