Not a sound was heard

Not a sound was heard.
I was walking along empty streets.
No people, no cars, no tones…

Silence.

I looked at the high black sky.
No stars, no birds, no drops…

Silence.

I was listening to myself.
No feelings, no throb, no hopes…

Silence.

I opened my eyes.
Child’s babble, clamour of birds, the morning…

The night dream went away softly.
