Giggling......would you like to know who I am?

A shadow, a figure, a charade!
Many just call me Masquerade.

I hold no form of ugly nor beauty.
But I was gifted an important duty.

To play, to guard, to keep, to correct.
To amuse, to dance, to learn, to inspect.

In the days of old, I would entertain kings and queens.

I would dance, tell them great tales, and sing.

And yet my story has rarly been told.
By neither the meek or the bold.

A grand ball within the palace.
A mask of innocence and malice.

Would be worn by all within,
in order to attend.

A horrible accident would occur to the host.
A mischievous prank put into motion by many.
None remorseful for their role, no not any.

Forever changed by fates cruel hand.
Now I wonder the land.

A shadow, a shade, a figure of lore.

Giggling...
