Question: Are you observed or observant!?
We varnish
So we vanish
Beneath layers of persona
Which obscure our true identity
And show it not!.

I question
Who are you!?
Hidden by your onion wrapped
And lacquered cover!.
Why do you quiver when I inquire!?
Your fears are groundless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
I will ask
In return
Who are you!?
If who you are satisfies
The eyes in which you behold beauty
The light I hold
Shall become beautiful to meWww@QuestionHome@Com

I like it!. a lot!.

One question, observation if you will, opening the second line with "So"!? I see where you are heading, just wondering if "Thus" or "Then" would work as well in your mind!. Reasoning; it was the only stumble I had with the poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

An excellent metaphor "lacquered cover!." It works well for the virtual world, as well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
