Like paint on canvas, on the wall
a shadow’s drying,-- long and misshapen
and awry, left by the human soul.
Within it, passion’s resting latent
under the mask of careless shade,
and warmth is hiding in gray covers
of swirling make-up -- masquerade.
Unnoticed, it just sleeps for hours
there by the wall. It’s like a feather,--
even lighter, but none can lift it’s frail body--
Like on a sheet, -- a printed letter,
A letter written for somebody...

Master~
I can relate to this - perhaps differently
than you intended with your pen ..
but relate nonetheless.

'on the wall
a shadow’s drying,-- long and misshapen
and awry, left by the human soul'

Have seen more of those 'shadows' than I wanted to see -
yet ... they hang on the walls of most of the housing
for the aged in this society.

I would like to know more of your intent
in this piece, if you'd care to share it
please e-mail me.
Thanks.

This is one that needs to be read and reread, it's very indepth, very complex, it shows a great deal of expression.
