Why the veil?
Not because the shining
Was too bright
That was the first day
He covered himself
So they would not see
The fading
That is the reason
For almost every mask
It is not the glory
Being hidden
It is the ending
Being hidden
The crack
The waning
The thing that no longer holds
Whoever has nothing to cover
Can speak openly
Because we have a hope
That does not fade
We need no cloth
Open visor
Open face
Test every covering
With one question
What would show
If it fell?
There is a tiredness
Only mask-wearers know
The endless repainting
Of a shine
That will not come back
On its own
Boldness is not a virtue
Of the brave
It is the privilege of those
Whose light does not go out
Whoever has nothing to cover
Can speak openly
Because we have a hope
That does not fade
We need no cloth
Open visor
Open face
Show what is there
If it is real
It can stand the light
If it cannot stand the light
The veil was never
The answer
