This is really beautiful, I like your poem very much! I reminds me of a very famous Zen poem, something like: "Peel back the thin piece of skin we call our face, revealing the pure white skull beneath - we are all the same afterall!

There is another Zen poem which talks about "whatever we do in life, our bones eventually turn pure white." Pure white meaning that we all eventually return back to our Original Purity.

Thanks again, I really enjoyed that!
