The Final Curtain

Updated: Dec 2, 2020


By SANDY ROCHELLE


The mask is off, discarding the things of no value.

The earth takes it up.

The soul dismantles it

And takes it to its grave

Useless and without purpose.

It no longer obscures the shining light

That lived beneath the mask.

The soul will now bury what never was.

A false time of pretending and illusion.
