threat Remains story poem</strong></div><div style="margin:10px 0">As twilight fall across the sea.<br> A fog was drifting steadily<br> Towards the shore and threatening<br> that it would swallow everything.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">A clammy cold persistent mist<br> which seemed unnatural to me.<br> Some evil which should not exist<br> which was approaching rapidly.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I’m not afraid, I’m terrified <br>that in the fog strange creatures hide<br>.I have a strong presentiment<br> I’m certain it’s malevolent.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The local legends linger on.<br>Strange tales from times which are long gone.<br>Stories I held to be untrue<br> but now I’m not sure that I do.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I am no longer confident<br> that modern man is competent<br> to deal with angers he can’t see.<br>Lured into false security</div><div style="margin:10px 0">reliant on technology.<br>But we still sense subconsciously<br>When something does not seem quite right<br> and we prepare for flight or fight.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I would much rather run away<br> but something forces me to stay<br> I am entranced or hypnotised<br>my limbs completely paralysed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And as I watch it comes ashore<br> as it has often done before.<br>To wreak the vengeance of the sea<br> upon the land so silently.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">That no one knows until it’s gone<br> that it has been and what it’s done<br>Whole villages have disappeared<br> because the fog has commandeered.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The population forcibly<br> and carried them beneath the sea.<br>Leaving no witnesses behind<br> no evidence for men to find.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> to try and solve the mystery.<br>Abandoned houses by the sea<br>but not one living soul remains, <br>no single witness to explain.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> But this time it is different<br>I’m forced to watch the whole event. <br>Although there’s nothing I can do<br>the village disappears from view.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The mist engulfs it easily.<br>The silence is what frightens me.<br> No cries of distress or alarm<br> just an all pervading calm.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Was it by luck, pure happenstance<br> an accidental circumstance.<br>I chose to take a moonlight stroll<br> to watch the breakers as they roll.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> Towards the shore from out at sea<br> in procession ceaselessly.<br>I do not know but I believe<br> I was intended to perceive.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The creeping fog come from the sea <br>engulf the village silently. <br> So I could then bear witness<br>to the fact the ancient tales are true.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Though when I try to testify<br> they think I’m mad or that I lie.<br> Why should I lie what could I gain<br> I ask but they cannot explain.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Interviewed by psychiatrists<br> my “delusion” still persists<br>I stick to what I know I saw<br>I will remember evermore.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But they insist on treating me <br>as I if had some malady.<br> Some mental illness they can cure<br>and so they keep me in secure</div><div style="margin:10px 0">accommodation I don’t need.<br>In case one day I might succeed<br> in proving that my story’s true<br>and that of course would never do.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They dare not check past history <br>which would resolve the mystery.<br>If they researched the local lore<br> they’d find the fog has struck before</div><div style="margin:10px 0">though not in living memory. <br>They are afraid to set me free.<br>I know they know I’m not insane<br>but that I will repeat again.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The story which I know is true<br> a story they don’t want me to.<br>They much prefer to rationalise<br> to justify their blatant lies.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They have no explanation<br> of where the villagers have gone.<br>So they misuse authority<br>because they do not want be</div><div style="margin:10px 0"> seen to lack efficiency<br>So they sit back complacently.<br>Convinced they have successfully<br>prevented all publicity.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But they will find it is not so<br> for relatives will want to know.<br> What happened to their kith and kin<br>and then the witch hunt will begin.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Eventually they’ll get to me<br>I will regain my liberty<br>I will be allowed to tell my tale.<br>Despite their efforts they will fail.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">I will repeat my evidence<br> just what I saw no more no less.<br> Although it seems to make no sense.<br>It is the truth nevertheless.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Authorities claim to protect <br>the public as they ought to do<br>It is a claim which I reject<br>If you believe me you will too.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">16-Feb-09<br>http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a
