Then The Mask Fell....
by Maria Terezia Ferencz
Suited up for battle
Marching out to fight
Today the ground would rattle
So sure that we were right
My mask of rage
purchased by patriotic view
I never took a moment
to think you wore one too
We met like dancers
at a masquerade
you wore your mask
I wore mine also
both so unafraid
We danced death gracefully
in step and perfect time
We waltzed to sounds of freedom
the score not yours or mine
The time to dance
now over
you left the floor when
you fell in fight for freedom
and cried out for a friend
the mask fell off
I seen you
I seen myself then too

how true for so many of us...we dance so often and so well we forget we can change the steps...
