The Mask

The mask of yesterday is off.

No need of a disguise.

What you see is reality,

Facing the day, unafraid.

 Ambition has lost the prize

It had sought to attain.

An arrow that missed its mark,

Though the aim was straight.

 Mingling in my thoughts, awash

With ideas of tranquility sought.

I but a slave of ambition-

Needless are the goals I sought.

 There will be new prizes tomorrow,

That will appear and disappear.

I shall capture what I see and hold it,

It will be mine and I’ll never set it free.

On the Edge of Words by Debra Kraft

Questions, unquestioned discoveries, and answers in parable and rhyme…. This collection records a journey starting with a 1960s retrospective and the first man on the moon, moving to a new millennium welcomed in with a terrorist spin, family crises,
