Unmasked

Reflecting heaven’s canopy;

The lapis looking glass

Pools of azure therapy

Truth’s waters, dare I bask?

Gold wings pierce past partitions

Glinting silvered two-way mirrors

Revealing introspections

Honesty, conquering fears

Flooding fallow, fertile soil;

Moor mysteries, unearthed

Pearlescent, rainbow rings of oil

Conceived in tears; new birth

Evaporates in clouds, ascent

Now captured in love’s flask

The opaque veil ’tween earth is rent;

My spirit’s eyes, unmasked
