THE MASK

THE MASK
The morning sun takes my hand
Spreading warmth across the land
A new day has broken through
Changing the darkness to a sky of blue
I take a moment to bless this day
Eyes closed I begin to pray
Beauty and wonderment you share with me
Thank you for the sunshine that lets me sees
How will I fill the hours I ask?
How can it be done without my mask?
I was fearful to show all that I am
The human - the being we call man
For so long the mask I used
To hide from a world tainted and abused
No longer shall I hide
I am going to take it for a ride.
