FACES

All the faces at this park

Each person has several

Soul windows with diverse themes

Masks of joy for sorrow

Gleam and dusk grappling from within

Smiles and laughter amidst tears and fears

Bringing warmth to the coldest of places

A carousel of expressions

A carousel of sound

This communal space holds so many stories

Sunlight weaving through the trees

Creating patterns and shadows

Children's giggles and elders' jokes stuffing the air

Heavy lids too afraid to lose a tear

Lips unmoving, too dazed to speak

Eyes revealing secrets with no trace

When you look in the mirror, who do you see on the other side?
