Quiet and Still

The solo was played

The duo portrayed

The trio assigned

The quartet aligned

And all were quiet still

The scene passed away

The end didn’t stray

The lights dull and gray

No lines left to say

And all were quiet, still

Prayers whispered in silence

Only end to violence

Body only semblance

Of what’s gone, the essence

And all were quiet; still

They would never complain

If you’d only explain

That one day they’ll remain

Living never with pain

And they were quiet…still
