Pause
It
happened this season
Without
much to say
There
was a time and a moment
When
the world went away
A
tiny invader
Came
along to besiege
With
invisible movement
Causing
us to just freeze
There’s
a new crime in town
Taking
over the world and our city
It
has no remorse
No
mercy or pity
There’s
a calm all around
Not
a sound nor a breeze
I’m
afraid it forebodes
Of
a quiet disease
So
quick is despair
To
do all that it please
To
pause all our nations
Knocked
down to its knees
It
has taken the world
By
an unusual storm
Paralyzed
all our being
Then
we had to conform
This
tiny invader
With
a crown to its name
No
glory is found
But
triumphs just the same
It’s
taking so many people
Seem
to defy natural laws
It’s
happening so quickly
Yet
we still have to pause
Is
it just nature’s way
So
many don’t buy it
From
a bustling world
To
then just being quiet
Some
say it’s divine
Only
He knows because
How
can millions of people
Can
suddenly just pause
An
eerie hush
Has
befallen our land
Commands
quiet please
Ways
we don’t understand
Like
ghosts are the people
Covered
than masked
For
the sick they are saviors
What
a terrible task
The
helpers of people
So
much time is spent
Many
raising their voices
Still
some cannot vent
Are
those bright white pavilions
Constructed
so quick
Just
built fast enough
Not
to house all the sick
The
parade of drumming
The
endless marching beat
Turned
about face
Stopped
shuffling its feet
The
streets are so empty
Not
a wave of a hand
Turned
a bustling metropolis
Into
a mute barren land
No
sounds in the air
A
menacing stop
Just
quiet policing
Of
an insidious cop
We
were joined in many storms
But
not in this type of weather
We
pause then we’re distant
Now
we can’t be together
As
the quiet continues
Down
every untrodden street
Around
every corner
Empty
sidewalks will meet
Pause
please everybody
Both
big and small
From
an invisible villain
That
started it all
Let’s
pray for all people
For
a tomorrow today
Let’s
send this insidious
Invader
away
Then
an almighty presence
Now
commanding with aplomb
Vanquished
the tiny invader
So
no more will succumb
As
a light is now beaming
Shining
down heaven’s door
On
a new landscape and horizon
Where
the sick are no more
What
happened this season
We
may not know the cause
There
was a time and a moment
When
we all had to pause
