Remove
your mask
of deception
Slip off
your cloak
of bold lies
Your costume
is frayed
and transparent ~
I can see
through your
feeble disguise ~

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Chris, I was taunted by one of these masks by too many, dearest friend, I've been kind of in low spirits the last few weeks because of missing what could have been a Summer of Love and my old friends never getting to talk to me! (sad sigh) God Bless You, dearest friend, this is heartfelt, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Chris, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

The poem was sad, but those masks are making me crack up. Thanks, I needed a little of both.
