Masks in the Garden

The white masks beautifully lay horizontal in the garden of red flowers
As they lay there it reminds me of the masks of my life,
Where I have lost the importance of life that overpowers
Everything that gets in its way during a counterlife.

The garden of red flowers brings a unique presence with the masks.
While I prepare myself for the way things should have been, it depends
On how I feel about going about my subtasks
With my religious society of friends.
