30. Mystery's Curtain

    1.
    Mystery’s curtain, rent for me,
    torn asunder, floating free.
    Eyes squeezed shut, with trembling hand
    I descry the wondrous land.
    Mystery’s curtain, rent for me,
    torn asunder, floating free.

    2.
    Curtain open, mind gone quiet,
    Union is the only light.
    Windows everywhere you go,
    open doors at every turn.
    Mystery’s curtain, rent for me,
    torn asunder, floating free.

    3.
    Why not look and see and know?
    Chattering mind can never learn
    what it knows in spite of pain:
    perfect loss the only gain.
    Mystery’s curtain, rent for thee,
    torn asunder, floating free.
