LIFTING THE VEIL

Clouds converge, a conglomeration
of confusion and doubt. Out of reasons
for all that deceives and perplexes;
vexing me with the hazy illusion of life.
Rife with the desire to think in complete
thoughts; it ought to be easy for one
who chooses to use his muse to express.
And yes, the persistence of my mind
gives me the urge to shed this shroud
and shout out loud to all that will listen.
Thankfully, when you lift the veil, you find clarity.
It is a rarity that you seldom see. A vision
meant to stimulate you and allows you to emulate
nature's narcissistic nudge, inspired and confident.
The view obscured by the muted curtain is brighter for certain,
and your thoughts drape gracefully like a technicolor tapestry.
