the sun did not rise today

the sun did not rise today      
its role was cut off.     
seeing this, the flowers        
fell to the ground without blooming,  
the green leaves scattered without turning yellow      
but the sun did not rise today      
       
the waves of the sea did not touch the shore      
a flock of birds started flying        
in one direction to search        
for the sun that comes every day.  
by tearing the mountain,      
the roots of the trees,        
felt suffocated,        
n started circling here and there    
in the abyss      
but the sun did not rise today      
       
the lake, unable to embrace the day,      
started flying towards the sky      
above the mountains.
every wall of the house      
began turning blind,
the fishes, yearning for the sun's smile,      
started fainting,
the full moon fell from      
heaven and stood in the desert    
but the sun did not rise today      
       
the birds singing        
in the sweet dawn became mute.    
the butterflies,        
searching for the drops of dew,        
started drying up.  
the milk-filled cow's breasts        
started bursting and the calf        
started searching for the well      
but the sun did not rise today...
