Curtains

A wise man
called your
Soul
the gateway to
The Mystery.

It’s called
The Mystery
because when
you followed
your Soul
from there,
into a lifetime
inhabiting
your body,

a curtain
was drawn
behind you,
just as the one
before you
opened,
along with
your eyes.

But it’s just
a curtain.

So play
the part
you came
to play,

it wouldn’t
be the same
without you,

but let your
Soul
slip behind
the curtain –
you can be here
and there –

and let
The Mystery
envelop
your stage
Presence,

as it passes
through
the gateway
of your
Soul.
