moon batchelder - The Moment It Died

the moment it died
i heard the sound;
(a small and curious pause.

not like as if heaven
came crashing down
at all! no furious wars.

no sirens wailing,
no passionate din,
no violent end of the world.

but the moment it died,
this love i had found,
in my heart,)
- like a pin, hit the floor.
