Silken quiet, Mid summers night
witching hour, full of terror and fright
Not a single soul stirs, pray for the church mouse
who is silently watched by the owl, from his house
Unbeknownst by the mouse he is about to become,
a midnight snack for the silent one. The tiny prey
scurries doing her deeds, for at home she has
4 hungry mouths to feed. If she doesn't make it,
her whole family is lost , babies and all. What a terrible
cost ..life for a life cruel as it may be
one must die for one to live free.
