“songs of experience lost
songs of innocence regained
come step pirouette roulette
at our masquerade parade”-Anand 

eye wish eye was just making this all up like lemonade
some people try to squeeze you if your not in their parade
& you may be better with a lawful letter with those mischievous ways
or a caring word, or just a bow, that can better play
in that meaningful masquerade 

and your likely to show up for some
like a ghost that just won’t fade
softening those stone cold hearts with a little touch of grace
no matter how we sing or run for our imagined escapes
we’ve all gotta solve the conundrum of - this here masquerade 

children can have tantrums, it may be likely
they can be quite healing, if we can hold some space
here and there there’s something - we can do or say
or not, as we get a little caught up
with a medicinal masquerade 

kindness is behind us as we forward any plays
only wise compassion - will let us truly change
simply just remembering the source of all that is made
has us all befriending here beyond this meaningful masquerade 

please don’t let the bullies scare you with their tricky names
they can only make their harvest if we are afraid
they will either die or change if we do not play
in those relatively entertaining, meaningful masquerades 

stepping stones and whirling tones as just another phase
what was once a clarity can turn into a craze
and a hazy mind can see the labyrinth as a maze
but it’s just another awesomely made up
meaningful masquerade 

cultivating beauty and awareness in the way
being here as fellow students within these schooling days
realizing infinite potential has us play
here within and certainly beyond these meaningful masquerades 

great attitude within us all never hesitates
to face the transformation of the fear and greed and hate
with love and boundless beauty in every plan that’s made
constantly offering this fait – differently the same
with every masquerade 

being sure to give our thanks for these dynamic ways
feeling gratitude for all the beauty and the grace
ready to continue in the co-creative play
of the magnificent meditative all ways evolving
meaningful masquerade  

(June 14, 2020 -Saskatoon, Sk, Canada)
