For a dear friend

Putting pen to paper
took root in your heart
allowing you the liberty
to unmask the past

For too long you ignored
the rumours in your heart

For too long you allowed
dust to settle in corners
not spoken of

At last the past fades
as a new mirror rises in the east
to restore your beauty
and finally beating the beast

You finally came through it all...
