When The World Stops. Poem by Sonia Lunden

Stars that do not twinkle, Sun that does not worm, moon that does not illuminate, Flowers that refuse to open in the day time, Birds that do not sing, Darks clouds that block the sky, music without sound, Books without Poetry, Children that do not laugh, phones that do not ring, Letters that do not arrive, Questions without answers, Desires without pleasure, Hearts that survive with slight beatings, that is the world we live in, when we are not loved back.,
