Nature puts time to a stop.
The changing leaves fall,
Yet bring to a halt.
The world of art is now exalt.
For rain drops are diamonds,
And the water is glass,
The shadows are mysteries
Frozen laughter; Frozen sorrow
All there but all stopped
Like a movie on pause
Or a picture taken
A portrait of a million stories
The time ticks again
The world in action
The laughs continue
The tears fall
All hear the world's sound
The falling leaf hits the ground
and the words travel through the breeze
Once again in motion
