They stopped singing because
They remembered why they had started
Stopped because
They were singing too well
When they stopped they hoped for
A silence to listen into.
Had they sung longer
The people would not have known what to say.
They stopped from the fear
Of singing for ever
They stopped because they saw the rigid world
Become troubled
Saw it begin
Composing a question.
Then they stopped singing
While there was time
