Lifting of the veil

Space flickers revealing it is a veil,
circumferenced by a ring of white light.
We recognise the truth this does entail,
as light that lights all lights, banishing night.
We find we alone have beheld this sight,
which we then witness again and again,
being what it is, stated in words plain,
which although we share no one seems to care,
so as these epiphanies we ingrain,
of what lies beyond, we become aware.
