Makes for clear conscience

Mask of honor seeks
to allay fears of mistakes
Makes for clear conscience

Up in heaven's scare
Clear blue skies belie
impending black rain

For Chev's CARPE DIEM # 544 -  mask

    We all seem to wear a mask of some sort...be it literal or metaphorical. Great work Hank.

    we are getting tons of rain today...
    it is a bit easier behind the mask...not to fear the mistakes...
    then again we have to one day own them

    Masks might hide, but our conscience doesn't.

    Very intricate, lyrical first haiku, and beautiful second one. A triumph.

    Many masks we can interchange and wear at will

    Sometimes the comfort of a mask opens us up to new things
