Pillars

It was but a silent hiss
Slowly taking one by one 
Pillars of the village shade
As the sharpness in the women's laughter faded
As deep commanding voices became an oasis
And the full moon brightness shaded
Leaving us the little ones in the dark
.

Oh ye elders of our land
The gap you left has been filled with a puzzle
If we are all to resurrect one day
Then my wish is 
We should be guests of the Most High first and meet later.
