A mask of gold

A beautiful soul, timeless and alone, a whisper, a thought, a mask to cover all. It's said it's the beauty of the heart that makes everything shine, gathering feelings and people aside.

I feel that heart is within the eyes, in the shadows and lights.

'Why should the world be over-wise, In counting all our tears and sighs? Nay, let them only see us, while We wear the mask.'

'We Wear the Mask' - Paul Dunbar
