The Shadow of A Man Who is that man All dressed in black Sitting there in the corner Where I am unable To distinguish his features Just a dark blur there A shadow of a man. Look he’s getting up walking Away from me At a distance I try to fallow close by Keeping him in sight. His attire Is completely black Just an outline of darkness I am unable to see his face Yet he seems annoyed As he keeps his back Towards me. I follow With a pen and pad in hand For reasons unknown to me Wondering what he’ll ever do? Why is he here? Just waiting for him To say something. May be he’ll utter a A sad or happy song Why can he leave us alone It’s only me Sitting in this waiting room. The only patient here Inside the inner sanctum Behind those swinging doors Is my lovely wife Presently under going A minor surgical procedure As I pray and hope That she’ll be Ok. What is causing This curiosity of mine About the shadow of a man Walking away from me? By: William Bonilla Dartagnan 06/10/08

You versed fear very well here William, once we do catch that dark figure of a man, we'll have to look in his face, face almost every fear we don't want to face, but this is what makes the man, you'll catch him, we caught him many times on the street, some of them shot back, we survived, good luck on your wife :-)

...running away with ones...comes to mind. Excellent write of something following...capturing ones light in hollow shadows...until light again filters through. Wonderful beginning...suspense...reason...and yet questions.
great write William...

William hope your wife is in good health, and that the procedure wasn't too evasive. Yes, that shadow (if it is really real) Fear probably like a living Fear coming to see if you would in fact be afraid.

Good you wrote about it, you both take care of yourselves.
Sincerely,
