Who Is That Masked Man

Stalking the shadows in silence But forever we are aware Not one breath of malice or violence And kindness beyond compare The first with a pat on the back With a mind of ceaseless searching Searching for unknown facts In his peaceful quest, just lurking Understanding expressed with compassion A rock one can lean against The one with the hooded fashion And whose talent is quite immense Brave one who is unafraid To explore new things or places In the shadows he will always stay Though his icon will always grace us In person we've never met But a friendly hand he extends The Silent One passes the test For someone I call my friend Thank you S1 for all of the times, well you know.

Thank you, Sandra. He is indeed a friend to all. It was not written to gain notoriety, but merely as way of saying what we all feel. We all respect his nature and it inspired me to write about him, the man. He should get all of the accolades.
