He was but a whisper.
Not knowing that human tears
Could drown the beauty of a quiet face,
he walked cold and ghostlike,
Among other men a statue

I like the imagery, but the last line seems slightly incomplete.

Mag is correct...I think we have all encounter people like this.

I Really like this. It gives a great deal to think about. There are dead men walking and walking dead men. I have met them both and I still get unnerved.

i like this juxtaposition: "whisper"/soft, opposed to "statue"/hard.

how both can be cool; how both can be remote.
