What If God Blinked

The sky turned into vast dark emptiness The smell of nature replaced with odourless aridness The winds got sucked into the ground Quiescence was the loudest sound Rivers so still without ripples A tide and flow trapped in its own course Sea waves and sand in a truce Time stopped, mystery was let loose Carnivores lost their bloodthirstiness The birds became flightless The flyers wondered nervously in the crawlers’ habitats The food chain missed its end and lost its start Shadows left the surfaces And merged with their objects There was no sound of nature’s forces As the earth became oblivious of itself A spell of timelessness was imminent In the middle of nothingness, we are barely existent Nature almost extinct All because God Blinked
