RIC S. BASTASA - Faces and layers of faces

At first, this is the face I will show you Shallow, thin, smooth Then we feel each other, like some kind of New found friends, I Take another layer, and tell you, this is my face, Some scars, and lines of age, and furrows, Then we write many emails, and remember Common things, like a certain familiarity, Another layer is taken and exposed, The face of a sick man, with some Disappointments in his mind, Some wounds, wrinkles, and so you Think, are there other layers of faces still To show, Deeper, deeper is there another layer to show Another face of this man? Yes, there is another layer, more faces Hidden underneath each layer, As we go on, learning from ourselves, And me learning from myself, I will be digging for more faces, Because I am never static I am growing, and for each growth Like molting Another face comes out Soon, I hope, I must come out With the most beautiful face The we can be both proud of, It is just a matter of time Depending on how well you have loved me.RIC S.
