Perhaps you could also 'connect' some of my other poems at Poemhunter, etc., to some of your other illustrations? Doesn't need to be an exact connection … ;-) Peter S Quinn (85.197.227.36), am 24.

Guest		Changing Masks Changing masks of myriad subtleties today In the colorful worlds we all live in Spiral bounds to its many turning way Head to head in tomorrow's coming spin Waves from the sky through emotions of song To follow your spirits from cloud to cloud Dreams of your golden thrust spinning headlong From concrete forests and to the street crowd Opportunities of living color turn Jesters of every man's inside juggling Desiring shades that come to mind and burn From their work about distances and struggling Masks like transparent ornamentation Theater of smiles and sadness sensation Peter S Quinn (85.197.227.36), am 24.

We Wear The Mask

By Paul Lawrence Dunbar

We wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,--
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.

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

We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
