A mask....
Hiding reality from eyes
Covering the pain of the past
of the life before
the mask.

A smile overlying guilt
covering shame
hiding....

Showing only false images
of graven feel...

A mask of hope
buried beneath the soil
of one’s heart...

Clawing to the air of freedom
and life after the mask
of forgiveness
is worn.

Which mask shall be worn
upon the face of truth?
As eyes stream the water
of life before the peel
of a new mask is born.

bravo Barry.  I for one enjoyed this challenge immensely!  You have mastered it well.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

BRAVO!!! Yes indeed, there are many wicked lies to life that can be so inconceivable at first then when we dig underneath it all and discover forgiveness with justice, the truth will always be the final product, a porcelain china mask crystal clear! (big hugggsssssss) This is marvelous, excellent challenge, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
