Veiled

“The Ego is a veil between humans and God.” ~ Rumi

I reached out 
lifted the veil
and saw to my amazement... 
I am He
He is I
Together, we are one!

To us belong
the heavens and the earth,
we summon the sun to rise,
At our behest it retreats.

We gallop with the wild winds
and loiter around with the lazy breeze,
With the sprightly stream we wander 
through dales and valleys
and lay languorously
like a calm placid lake
under an autumnal sun 
oh, in some remote cove. 

My thoughts are mine,
I alone think my thoughts,
I share them with Him at will.

I am one with
the supreme consciousness,
I am the center of the universe--
The eternal soul.
