The Profound Ones Poem by DM W

The Profound Ones



The profound ones among us adore masks.
They play with notions like children with toys.
They're not concerned with world-weary tasks.
For them creation's fruits are such a joy.
They can merge comedy with tragedy
In the twinkling of an eye. They love life.
They've mastered metaphor and irony,
And have found novel ways to transcend strife.
They have the courage to face dreadful night.
O they can transform darkness into light!
