Observation
Our child with great virtues of forgotten past Brings light to a world masked by craving’s thread No more towers high, nor gates of gold Still ruled by desire untold, the thirst doth blind In a cycle unbroken, we are forever confined The masks of Self, so cunning and sleek Hide this wisdom, deep and pure Change alone is the only constant In every breath, in and then out, Feeling the change, anicca within I, the first, will cast away Mask of Luci Let us lay down the masks of time, of craving’s flight
Replies by this mask
- Is it time, o soul, to cast away The masks that veil the light of day? For masks do hide, with quiet grace. These masks, they speak of self and pride, The ego's whispers, deep inside. Cast them off, and what you’ll find Is boundless love, a heart unlined
- Adorn the light that shines within, Let love alone be where you begin. We are but one, the truth is clear, In unity, there’s naught to fear. For love, the light that binds us all, In this vast world, we rise and fall. In every heart, a spark shines bright
- I took it easy, gave a number, Lost in ego's light, I slumbered. Now I see, the masks I wore, Cast them off, and love restore. In light we rise, together true, As one in love, beneath skies blue.
