The Cloak Of Invisibility

The Cloak Of Invisibility is about a man who lives in the shadows. His shadows are his descendents who have become ghosts of who they used to be. They are now the shadows that have become the artist's cloak of invisibility from which they live on through his voice, which is the canvas he uses to paint the images of their former selves.

His Cloak Of Invisibility
By Kiki Stamatiou a. k. a. Joanna Maharis

He lives in the shadows hiding behind his cloak of
invisibility.

All that he reveals to
man is the soul that 
opens up like a treasure chest.

Out come the spirits
of his family that now 
immerse his canvas.

For they were once in
the public eye as figures 
of politics or of entertainment.

But here they rest
upon the artists canvas
as ghosts of who or
what they used to be.

For now, they are the
shadows that stand
behind the man who has
become their voice.
