Silence

It’s a lazy, lonely, new day.

I seem to be the only one

Who’s awake...

It’s quiet.

Still.

Not a sound.

Not even a bird’s chirp,

In the background.

The sun is still asleep –

Hiding behind a blanket of clouds.

I lie on my bed

Waiting for a sound,

Any sound,

To let me know

That it is just another normal day.

But all I hear is a deathly silence.

Where is everybody?
