Awesome vision once beheld,
images danced within the mind.
Forgotten in years gone by,
imbedded in a soul now blind.
Yesterday's promise unfulfilled,
dormant inside a body weak
Biding its time hidden well,
behind haunted eyes so bleak.
Pushing forth into illumination,
the demon rears it ugly head.
Trailing fear in its wake
into the mortal heart which fled.
Down it hurls into hell,
followed by a tortured cry.
This evil vision claws to the truth,
exposing the damage without alibi.
Thrust into an uncaring world,
lost among the indifference there.
A spectral presence in peripheral view,
waiting to catch one unaware.
Racing away from the unknown,
Frightened eyes shifting to see.
Alone but for a familiar shadow,
Is the fearful presence me.
