Oh what tangled webs we weave,
when first we practice to deceive.
Ourselves, our hearts, and then our soul,
striving just to keep it whole.
———-
Then fear creeps in to blow apart,
the bandaged pieces of our heart.
We think we’re good,
believe we’re strong,
but Masquerading all along.
———-
Only God can heal the pain,
Help us learn to dance again.
His perfect Love unravels all,
and all the masks removed will fall.
A superbly rendered work that is engaging,evocative and challenging.
