It ebbed, it flowed, it etched too loud,
The silence was raging without the sound.
Air of the feared was alien enough,
Unknown it was, unresolved it died.
It was a blur with scars so sly,
The veil was drawn with a tenacious sigh.
Surreptitious it was with a ferocious cuff,
Unknown it was, unresolved it died.
It swindled the eyes with sinuous grace,
The treachery was deft without a trace.
To unsnarl the thread, it tried.
Unknown it stayed, unresolved it died.
