Silence of a dark night
deafening for the soul
Looking towards redemption
Stories untold
Life is but a prism
Colours separating from the seams
Dark ones are quiet
Light ones scream
May be we are prisoners
our small deeds
Considered crimes
Punishable indeed
As the night passes
we are left without words
travelling long distances
returning where we stood
the dawn appears at last
Time to wear our masks
Perspectives on Life, the Universe and Everything 
I love this moon. More than perfect.

I’ve been there. So difficult for so many just to be themselves. With age, prayer, understanding and much personal healing, it’s easier and easier to leave the mask off. Phew. Hope that many others would be able to too.
