Shadow of a Man Version 6
Photoshop Manipulation by The Real Cie
Shadow of a Man
Amazing
Beautiful being
Creature of love
Diamond in the rough
Envisioning creating a better world
Fanciness was foolishness in your eyes
Gifted, talented, mind razor sharp
Heart fragile as blown glass
Ingenuous although leery
Just a simple person
Kind and gentle
Little lost boy
Mystery to himself
Never really at peace
Only the music made sense
Pain drove him to erroneous choices
Quietly he slipped away to recover
Real and true and better than he knew
Such a gallant soul deserves far better
Than to die feeling abandoned and alone
Unquiet ghost haunting empty house
Valiant nonetheless unto the end
Wishes don't come true
Xanatos waits until
Your time reaches
Zero at last

Notes:
The shape is an hourglass or an urn or something. I started out with idea of making a butterfly but gave up in frustration. Someone less dyslexic than I am might succeed.
To my wonderful writing sister Thalia for coming to my defense recently:

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
