Silence is where
it lies in wait
creeping slowly
waiting…
for us to see

No one wishes
to see it
to face it
fearing …
what it could be

But slowly
ever so slowly
it becomes known
rising its head
from the murky
waters
revealing itself
to all that are
unlucky to wonder by

We try
to turn away
averting our gaze
from its sight
not wanting
to knowledge
its existence

But slowly, so very slowly
we turn back
peering out of the
corner of our eyes
removing our hand and fingers
form them

To see it
for what it is

We see it
that
what crept in darkness
emerging from the shadows
where we feared to look
which now stands before us

As we gaze up
we shutter in terror
since now
for the first time
we see the
Truth
in all its glory
and it scares us so

I think truth can be scary especially for those that are unprepared for it. I especially liked the ending. :D
