Slowly peeling away layers
Of hidden intent
Shadow reveals itself
Veiled behind rugged charm
Destroying innocent dreams
Unstoppable
Until life force sings again
Even in the darkest of days
V.J. has asked us to investigate the “paranormal” in her Halloween theme. The above photo shows a spooky shadow lurking in the background. Also, a portal of light appeared as I darkened this photo.

Stuff and what if... 
Oh wow! I see a woman’s leg, oddly enough – a leg that showed up in a recent painting I did – intuitively. Spooky….

Amazing photo, many things can be seen in it, I do see the leg, and the face of a brown bear (between the leg and the tree- behind the tree almost). Your poem is filled with wisdom.
