Screen of Awareness

Searching, hastily, determined I shouted: “why!” “why doesn’t the curtain Just rise Allow me to see All of my “self”? He answered: “Be grateful That the veil thins As we are able To bear looking at ourselves” ©5/14/2023 Screen of Awareness Poetry Contest Unseeking Seeker - sponsor
