The Unveiling

How far is it from
Where You Are Now to
Where You Imagine
You Should Be, to
Where You
Long To Be?

A Lifetime?
A thousand Lifetimes?

Who do You Imagine
You Will Be
When You Arrive?

What will be
different about You?
Do you have a List?

With deadlines and
check-boxes and
measurements?
Categories and
subcategories?
Indicators of
Transformation?

What if You’re
too late and
your hair has
faded or
fallen out?
Your wrinkles
and creases have
multiplied, and
your girth gone
slack?

Will you have failed?

Or have you been
misinformed
by the Prophets and
Preachers of
If and Maybe,

when in Truth
You Arrived before
You Ever Left.

You’ve only Ever
Arrived.

It’s not a Journey.

It’s an Unveiling.

Someone fitted You
with Blinders
at Birth.

Take them off.
You’re where You
Long To Be.
