The Mystic Mask
The Mystic Mask .
Who sowed you ?
Who did contrive ?
To thrive and beguile ,
To cast a futile trust '.
With the chemistry of senses ,
And physics of psycho-bio ,
Who allotted the journey ,
In Will's furnace ?
With sudden arrival and departure ,
Who waved the tapestry
And set incessant waves ,
In your growing and fading cave .
Whose is the mystic -mask ?
Whose is the market to transact ?
Of irony -red ,blue ,green and yellow ,
