Writing with Gibran - Masks - August 22, 2014

Here is yesterday's Carpe Diem Haiku Kai quote of the day from Gibran's "Sea and Foam":

 [...] "Even the masks of life are masks of deeper mystery". [...]

 unmasking
look into the world -
tears flow

******************

I know you little mask
the lover said and laughed
in his illusion

me behind the mask
sometimes laughing sometimes not
facing daily life

taking off the mask
standing nude before the world
the wounded child

the mask's ornaments
tells a story of its own
a chameleon
