A man, slyly hidden in plein-air, Lays silent and waits. He is isolated, but not dead. A man invisible, but not lifeless. He claims elusiveness in his stance, shrouding in surroundings - masked in a veil - he gulps a large breath to contain a fleet of sentience. A watchman - apart from the whole - empty of all motion. Straining to eschew footsteps in the brush, withal immobile. A stationary reed, quashing true self, to blend into what they want him to be. Still, a shadow of himself. A solitary tree in a crowded forest. Seclusion at its finest.

Illusory Being
A man, slyly hidden in plein-air, Lays silent and waits. He is isolated, but not dead. A man invisible, but not lifeless. He claims elusiveness in his stance, shrouding in surroundings - masked in a veil - he gulps a large breath to contain a fleet of sentience. A watchman - apart from the whole - empty of all motion. Straining to eschew footsteps in the brush, withal immobile. A stationary reed, quashing true self, to blend into what they want him to be. Still, a shadow of himself. A solitary tree in a crowded forest. Seclusion at its finest.
