Suddenly in just an instance you were there,
I do not know you, you are everywhere.
You appeared with a name, it does not say from where you came,
A smile of mystery, a face never before seen.
I have a name, it does not speak of who I am,
A mask is worn, that I might not be hurt.
Many thoughts and fears live within my spirit,
I’ve been everywhere if nowhere.
I hide and run to keep myself from harm,
There are faces I wear, faces of change.
Do you know me at all, more than yesterday,
I speak from the heart, there is no shame.
Keith Garrett
we all wear masks, just keep in the sunshine as they say, amen
Thanks for reading

I love my names meanings – consecrated one; full of grace. Hard to live up to, but keeps me pushing.
Thanks for reading always
