A mask is not the face
We see masks, only masks
Not always the faces.
A face can wear many a mask
The looks shift and change
Become benign or ruffian
Mona Lisa has a face
What we see is a mask
Hence an enigma
Some have only masks – no face at all.
A smile needs a face
Nothing more, just a face,
An infant has a face
It doesn’t wear a mask.
In many a child we see a face
His face or hers.
The lover or ladylove may have a mask too
But a mother has only a face for the offspring
Like God’s Hers is a face
What is without is within
Look for the infant’s face in the one you love:
Just look within!
