Masks

Masks are worn in silence
Mindful of other's eyes
Moving slow through shadows
Memories of their lies
Motion comes in quiet
Mirror reflects deep in you
Mortals always pursue

Masks are a fascinating subject. A fav short story of mine has a masked planet! I detective goes to find a crook hiding there. The crook catches him beats him in public and rips off the detectives mask and tells the crowd - I'm a detective & this man is a murderer! The crowd [knowing only a perverse man would rip another's mask off] turns on the crook & kills him! [thus saving the detectives life!Congrad's Light & Love
