When Darkness Falls

The air is warm, the sky is blue
The trees are dancing in the wind
The birds sing, the butterflies flutter
Peace is all I feel
The air is cold, the sky is crying
Tears are dropping down like bombs
The people scream and fall to their knees
The birds are silent, the butterflies gone
I don’t understand
Then all is dark
