Art by: Awakened Arts
When the world went silent we truly began to see.
We learned to enjoy what we have and how to just be.
When the world went silent we began to care.
We work together and some of us learned how to share.
When the world went silent our hearts began to cry.
Together we were moved to mourn the loss of many lives.
When the world went silent we fell to our knees.
We cried out for freedom and hearts to be filled with peace.
When the world went silent we saw what held our hearts captive.
We learned how to look to others with renewed compassion.
When the world went silent we began to live anew.
We began to long for our community and love grew.
When the world went silent it was then that our ears were able to hear.
We began to open our souls and walk in a knowing greater than fear.
When the world went silent we saw how strong we could really be.
We opened our hearts and with God, who goes before us, we were set free.
