The Burning Veil

My eyes were opened to a bright red burning veil. Sun scorched and Moon dried, It was fried! But, I brought it some water in a crystal blue pale. The more it burned higher went the scale, God knows that I at least tried. There was just nowhere to hide. But, I wasn’t about to fail. I put the veil in the water and made it wet. I held it to the Sun and the Moon to air dry. The veil melted and glowed where it was set. It was sparkling and made me want to cry. Perception had been weakened to what it really should be. At least, that’s what the burning veil conveyed to the truth inside of me!
