Amazing Grace

No greater, more loving grace, 
than walking on the beach, 
waves rushing at my feet, 
raindrops floating to my upturned face; 
a rainbow arching out to my left, 
the sun rising on the right, 
rays breaking through dark clouds 
and spreading glorious light.

Do I...?

A colon and a closing parentheses,

a LOLZ and a ROTFLMHO,

New masks that we've learnt to use

Different, yet easy to put on...

Emoticons, abb., status mesages

That hide the tumult within

that tide over the moment till its gone

That conceal or camouflage

love, anger, disdain

and maybe even the person I really am.

Do I really want this persona?

Do I really want this facade?

Or do I want you to know me as I am?

And do you?
