It is very quiet this night
Too quiet for me.
There are no people in sight
No one that I can see.
I usually enjoy the stillness
I find peace in the calm.
But today silence means illness
Disease has come to our farm.
I’m too afraid to leave my room
Afraid of what I’ll find.
In the morning, chaos will resume
But for now, I’m safe inside my mind.
It is very quiet this night
In the glow of the starlight.
