You Know

There are those
among us,
perhaps you
are one,

who remember
when they
had not yet
chosen
the flesh and blood
persona
in which they
would inhabit
a place on
Earth.

They speak of
The Veil
that was drawn
behind them,
once they had
chosen,
so as not to
be overwhelmed
by longing
to return.

But that is not
to say
The Mystery
that lies behind
The Veil
cannot be
entered.

You know
exactly what
it was you
were doing
the last time
you slipped
behind
The Veil
and breathed in
The Mystery.

What is it
that prevents you
from doing that
Now?
