my mask and mirror
each tells its own story
one to me one to you
lowering my mask
you see me for a second
eyes mirroring souls
each one his own mask
the mirror can’t penetrate
what’s hidden within
the mystery
that hides behind your mask
a clouded mirror
[…] “Even the masks of life are masks of deeper mystery”. […]
© Khalil Gibran “Sea and Foam”

life is just veneer
between the mirror and me –
then it disappears
