This text of masks that we both write Before we seal passion's delight These words of love that mask desire Can fan the flames to fuel the fire Distance keeps our hearts in flight With texts of masks that we both write For text in masks can help us feel Give strength to words that make us real When loneliness sings heartfelt song The text of masks can keep us strong We lose ourselves to rampant peel And use those masks to hold the seal Drawn text of masks will hide the pain To portray the sun when there is rain To give out hope where there is none And paint a portrait of day's sun To signify spring comes again Those text of masks one true refrain For text in masks is what we wear When life is more than we can bear When reaching out will take a lie And hope is all we have, or die Although it may not seem so fair The mask of text can show we care Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

...This text of masks that we both write Before we seal passion's delight For text in masks can help us feel Give strength to words that make us real Drawn text of masks will hide the pain To portray the sun when there is rain For text in masks is what we wear When life is more than we can bear... Brava! From one who knows! |

But when midnight comes and we grow bold, we drop the mask and bare the soul, and find a freedom we can hold, embrace the warm, and leave the cold. Nan(Pilgrim variety) |

Sometimes the text unmasks and is enough, the release sufficient and the distant felt nod of approval spur to another breath, another step forward. Enjoyed. |

the texture in your text of masks is finely woven Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

From behind the mask, the words come. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
