Like a novice,
Surfing in the turbulence of an ocean,
Shakily going down one moment,
Riding on a wave the next,

I too drift, on the tides of time,
Encountering a sea of faces,

Each face, hidden behind a mask,
Concealing a vortex of emotions,
Forever shifting, a crazy game of chess,
Forever changing, a chameleon in overdrive,
Each face, desperate to tell a million tales,

But overwhelmed into silence,
Under the burden of masks,
One upon the other,

Which society,
For its own greed, selfishness,
Forces upon us…
