somebody

somebody seldom wonders

what nobody does –

sitting on his oh-so-high perch

a (thinking life revolves

around him) lone…

nobody wanders around

searching for someone

any (as long as they have

emotion) one.

someday – somebody will

look around –

find – no (not even his

shadow) body –

without light – there can

be no shades of darkness,

no (moving) shadows –

and while somebody

runs into the darkness –

looking for any (now some) –

body (body),

nobody will be in the light –

becoming the some (although second-rate) body

that existed within reach –

of any (now down on the ground) body

all a (unnoticed) long!

I really like the imagery within this piece, I also really like how it was formatted. It made for a really interesting read.
