Silently

"Silently".

Now and then a thought occurs. A forgotten memory of someone you knew. More a glimmer perhaps, fleeting and brief.

"Silently".

Once they were friends, partners, family. Their lives echoed yours, which makes you consider. For those who were will never again.

"Silently".

There was a wrapping around them, slowly yet menacingly. An insidious cloak of velvet, erasing eternal.

"Silently".

But the call is remembered, no more or less. A tauntingly sung word, light yet cruel and vile knowledge. That it was the end of all, the sand had run out.

"Silently".

So if you should ever hear such a dire call. Over the wind perhaps, or in the hubub of life. It is coming for you, there is no escape!

"Silently".

The word is its method, that's how it creeps up. And that chills the marrow when finally it ends you. For after you hear it, all becomes void.

"Silently".
