All human beings wear masks at some point for many reasons, but our true nature will always come through and manifest itself sooner or later. It is a beautiful work and the poem is lovely too; they combine perfectly and are very moving. Thank you very much!
What you say is true @avdesing in that we all need to protect our true selves in certain situations. One of Lazlo's basic Hierarchy of Needs -- self preservation. I'm so pleased you liked my poem also. I appreciate your visit and lovely compliment. Thanks so much. Take care.

Poetry is art, and it was great to read it and think about your work in that way. Have a great weekend.
