When I Saw the Puppies

There are these moments that catch us with our masks removed,
    When we realise that we are all of the same mud earth.
   Compassion, love, oozing out, we realise the depth of our being,
   We are creatures of love, unknown and unseen.

          Surprising ourselves, we surprise the world...
          Everything just stops, we take the leap of faith.
          Events hand us the mirror, we lay down our masks,
          Life is- in such moments, giving us more than we can ever ask.
