Has the wind stopped blowing?
Have the roof tops stopped shining?
Has the rain stopped singing?
Have the old men stopped crying?
Have you stopped to see?
Have you stopped to feel?
Has the sun stopped beating?
Have the city streets stopped rushing?
Has the grass stopped growing?
Have the deserts stopped dying?
Have you stopped to hear?
Have you stopped to fear?
Had the sun stopped beating,
And had the wind stopped blowing
Had the mind seen it coming,
I would have stopped writing.
