The Journey Begins

With peace upon us, we can afford to go out for a walk. Let’s let the cool evening breeze coming off the ocean balm and soothe out tired soul. It may perhaps appear as a denial of my earlier exhortations against your tirade, but I was actually appreciating this conversation we were having. Not many people want to talk to me these days; I don’t want to talk to many people either. So it’s only good that we stay together and talk.

You had mentioned that you can acquire different shapes and forms on my calling. It fascinates me, without an existence made up of a mass; you can form and deform yourself. Does the person sitting next to me, unaware of my masks wear them himself? Does the friend, the one of the ever compassionate persona, the loving heart; wear them too? How trust worthy are you Mask, how trust worthy are the others of your progeny? Do you fight and kill each other just as we humans do? Do you feel the pangs of jealousy, the lust for power, the greed for possession just as we do?

Many questions I have for you Mask and we have a whole lifetime full of unending dark nights to us, when it will be just you and me; the Master and the Slave; the Slave and the Master. Answer all my questions, question my intent, lets plan, scheme, dream and maraud our way through this world full of vulnerability and cruelty. You said we are one, let us indeed become one, baring ourselves in front of each other, I do not fear the pain in front of you so tear yourself off my skin and let me see you in front of me and then finally, as the dawn comes, I will neither be the face, nor the mask. I will be myself.

Let me for once see the world through your eyes; let me see its invisible, hidden colours; the colours behind the Masks that people like me wear. I feel a wave of lust and power sweep over me Mask, just the thought of undressing people, anywhere and anytime is so gratifying. I will undress them; you will help me do that.

Now Mask, now, lets start our journey in the world of Faces and Masks. Let’s start knowing the truth, uncovering the secrets and finding the answers that were for so long hidden away from me that I was made to feel guilty for my ignorance.

I am so glad I have you Mask, I do not want to die anymore, not just yet.
