Once there was a hen
A hen who laid eggs
Once there was an egg
An egg who stayed still

Once there was a cat
A cat who chased mice
Once there was a mouse
A mouse who stayed still

Still..
Still..
Still.

Once there was a man
Who was said to love women
Once there was a woman
Who was silent still

Once there was a child
Who loved balloons
Once there was a balloon
Which was deflated still

Still..
Still..
Still.

Still, water falls to the sea
Still, a statement remains to be said

"The world seems scary..
And hereby, I refuse to hatch",
said the egg..
Until this day it has not hatched still..
Still..
Still.

"Catch me if you please,
for I no longer care",
said the mouse..
Up to this day,
it is out there laying still
Still..
Still.

"I shall not speak to him,
for his gifts are means of trickery",
said the woman once..
Still, her lips are shut
Still..
Still.

The balloon had nothing to say
For each word can be both a blessing and a curse..

Still,
with no words to say,
it remains deflated still
Still..
Still.
