Masquerade

A masquerade of dancing shadows

Appear before me

Through my mystic window

And soon to be seen

I saw presented

Became a vision that

I saw resented

I stood and watched

Its image changing

The unseen hand was rearranging

And all the time I wondered

How did it wind

Slowly, surely it unfolded

Its simple lines just as

A pole wind told it

A temporary revolution

My problems rose and fell

With a lapse of illusion

My mind was telling me, don't fight it

It's just a hazard in the night

Don't do those

Who've lost their way

It's a masquerade

Masquerade, it's a masquerade ...
