I have a mask from Mardis Gras
Gold with fucia trim
multicoloured beaded bangs
purple feathered third eye
gauzy silken bows of green
adorn my temples
tipped with golden bells



This mask so pretty
I want to hide
within my pretty little mask
Let it be my world
Dress in lace
and satin
Shimmer and jingle
Champagne and bubbles

I want to retreat
I need to stop
LIfe is so overwhelming
So fast
LIke a kite caught in the wind
Too high too fast to come back
Need to fly free
So High
Fly away

Behind my mask
Feather light upon my cheek
I can live
in Fantasy
And rest
within my mask
Death mask
Private realm
Away away
WIthin my mask
I hide and break completely
Free

You are only as free as your mask.

beware the merging of the two
interface of mask and you....
I always wondered "what if I could go out and leave my self home?"

Masks are great tools, sometimes bad crutches, that allow us to find freedom, bravery and security via anonymity.

Gracias.

Cathy, this is so colorfully and structurally brilliant! I love that your mask has a structure and a function in this piece which makes it something concrete to hold onto as you find freedom....
Cat Givens Mar 23, 2006, 12:59am EST
You guys and your words of wisdom.... I bow to you all!!!
Bill's Spirit Mar 23, 2006, 10:08am EST
LOL - Cathy

Bow to yourself as well.
We couldn't have said the things we did
if you hadn't shared your words
to inspire our thinking
and move our fingers to dance.
