as i pause...
In this house of masquerades, we all have some roles to play Some stories to live, some characters to slay Some notes strain my memory; some enliven my being as potent Joy, of some sort. A feeling of loss and of gain in the same moment Whom did I lose, someone who wasn’t mine What did I gain, knowledge of being all alone all this while By passion and patience By sun and moon By sin and virtues Life, pulled by the odds towards the same fate Rowing the boat of faith The reflection in the lake , asks me why wait?
