Prompt from Irene's (here)
stillness distance secrecy darkness 
enigma (someone difficult to understand or explain)
mystery,,shadow
opacity (the quality of being opaque)
absence withdrawal erasure encryption

What of it!
A stillness in the distance
Secrecy in the approaching darkness
A being and its enigma

Entangled and overlooking
a ravine of mystery
Not in any way camouflaged
in shadows of opacity

In the absence of an explanation
or withdrawal of visual evidence
much less an erasure of encryption

What of it!
Manifestation of a yearning
Lately known to be lethal
and fatal
Not a selfie apparently
Better not!

  6. But sometimes there is great truth in darkness! For you know to expect the shadows.

  9. Your opening line is intriguing, an interesting way to hook the reader. The reference to the selfie at the end is very much on point.

  12. Looking out into a ravine certainly is opposite of a selfie...
