Welcome to the masquerade, Here we dance to an endless song. Here we sing to an endless tune, We all wear masks to hide our wrongs. We never know who we're dancing with, Don't know the dancers in the dance of fate. Don't question the steps we learn from birth. Don't know the whole dance until it's too late. Some see through the masks we wear, Angered by answers they never receive. They don't care to learn the steps of the dance, So the hosts of the masquerade ask them to leave. And so we continue in our masquerade, We dance and spin and turn and bend. And we hold our masks on oh-so tight, Just hope they stay on until the end. |

Afraid of loosing, afraid of winning. All the same. Very good. Joel. I howl a mornful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

Wonderful Poem, To want to stay till the end not wanting to leave. So well said The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
