the shadow of a faceless man

it had been nearly two years since i first heard the name AND THEN IT WAS MERELY A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION based on an old photograph stapled to a girls loving and fond memories of the way it was AND IN TIME IT EVENTUALLY WENT MISSING IN THE ROOM but never in my mind AND AS THE MONTHS PASSED the shadow became easier to see in the light NOT JUST VISIBLE IN THE DARK ANYMORE and the face that seemed so far away began to morph and tangle itself ALMOST LIKE AN APPARITION FLOATING IN SPACE TRYING TO GET A GOOD VIEW OF THE EARTH until the day the sun shone through the stained glass FILTERING THE LIES AND DUST FROM A DOUBTED REALITY and it was surreal and sad YET RELIEVING when i first saw the face of a shadowless man
