Silence floods the room until it seems the world is empty,
the words replaying in our minds
how could it really be true?
How could the world still be in motion?
How could life still be flowing as steady as a river?
Even with the truth suddenly pouring out
and all of the secrets uncovering
and now finally we realize the flood is now of tears.
The silence has vanished into thin air
only replaced by the cries of mourn and love
