Silently it stalks
In the Sunlight
Stealing away
By the minute and the day
Shattering reality
Changing memories
See no end
Til it is night
No hope in sight
Serious blend
Stress without security
Sickened without any doubt
Stiffled souls remain
As shock settles
stolen lives surrender
And suffer stoicly
Seeking solace
Finding separation
and succumbing
Ever so softly
Sweetly silent
And solemnly smiling.
