Behind the mask

Behind the mask our nature lies concealed
But with a mask no human can be healed
When to show and when to hide , who knows?
Secrets,lies,manoeuvres, run  the show
Faust with  the old devil made a deal
While the angels tottered ,unrevealed
And so the pact was made and then was sealed
Behind the mask
Off the face, the make up’s nightly peeled
While we  dream our Plays  from all we feel
Underneath our facade, waters flow
We join the sea of life to undergo
The transformation  by the miller’s wheel
Without the mask
