Colour - Black

Although you are

in essence an absence

you are always deliberate,

mysterious and silent,

a shadow following,

a shade from the sun,

impression gives colour

but you remain intact

with none.

Thanks, Jennifer. If I may say so myself I like that line, too. ?

Small and perfect - in essence an absence- one of your best I would say.

Highly effective Jon. I like that you havn't strayed into good and evil, the usual suspects, but stayed into defined limits.
