5M’s Poem to be Spoken Silently

It was so hushed
I could hear the angels
whispering above.

It was so silent
I could hear an ant crawling past
on the dusty floorboards.

It was so silent
I could hear the wind whistling
to the trees.

It was so silent that
I could hear the clouds breathing.

It was so silent
I could hear a pin drop.

It was so peaceful
I heard the snowflakes land.

It was so still
that I could feel a ghost
passing.

It was so quiet
I could hear the raindrops falling from the sky
onto the ground.

It was so quiet
I could hear caterpillars footsteps on a
crackling leaf.

It was so silent I could hear ghosts chuckling.

It was so hushed
I could hear voices in heaven
Whispering.
