That We Were We...

Let's make believe for a while, that I was me and you were you...
The Real us. Ready? Open your heart, Believe, and savour the view;

Let's make this moment count, for now we have no guile;

And we can be us, the Real us, if only for a little while;

When I take off my mask, what do you see?

A sinner, a saint ... a mindless entity?

When you take off your mask, what do you feel?

Exposed to my view, naked, blind ...or free?

I step forward, reach out and hold you; feel my ungloved hand;

As I lead you off this road, of stereotypical demand.

We step out of stately shoes, off this path of the ordinary;

We forget convention, happenings; the reasons for our worries.

We walk on paths less trodden, in lush green fields of adventure;

And fill our world with magical colours, of purple, orange and azure;

We break fences of polished decorum, see what we find beyond;

We give our hearts to all we aspire, dance a jig to the stupidest songs;

We run and skip down hills of fancy, laughing as we stumble along;

Knowing in our hearts that all things end right, if they don't end wrong;

And exposed in this way, I promise you won't find a truer moment;

When joy, fulfilment and sincerity meet, and God, our virtues cement;

And just for this moment, while we live as we, let's make believe the world is sane,

That you are you, and I am me, and we shall be we, ...once again.
