a veil of mystery
whatever can be revealed
something hides its face
the waves draw back and forward
a pinnacle will fly out
“Mysteries are feminine; they like to veil themselves but still want to be seen and divined.”
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
my moon is displayed
so bright – full of energy
yet the veil pulls down
such a strange conundrum
dear moon, come back again… please
