Veils Will Part — a poem

It is in the nature of things
Not to see the nature of things
How can an illusory self see Reality?
Can a fish understand water?
Could a single sperm ever imagine
The worlds it will birth and
The world it will be born into?
It’s like trying to look at
The back of your head
There are veils hiding
Everything of any import
Only a madman would attack
His own mirrored reflection
Yet we do it all the time
One day, we will sink into ourselves
And see everything differently
This truth will set us free
