Noumena Behind Phenomena

One day soon after waking up from sleep,
as I sat alone with my heart’s musings,
I was awed to see the fabric of space 
shimmer lifting an invisible veil,
behind which shone, a self-existent light,
being the true essence of existence,
wherefrom all souls emerge into earth life,
to learn how to become love enabled
and thus in truth, life’s but a lucid dream,
where because immersion makes us forget,
we mistakenly believe we’re this form,
though now having seen with spherical sight,
I know each one of us is living light.
