Self The Opaque Veil

Self is the opaque veil That covers the eyes of the mind As it fails to grasp or avail Of the Truth it seeks to find. Self stands proud on a hill There it tries to view from afar Gauging minute things at will Never knowing what they really are. Self denounces whatever may Negate all its drawn-up conclusions, Closed like a box, it shuns away The Light that can break its confusion. Self has to be broken to receive The Wisdom and Freedom that it needs It must allow Faith in to believe The Way where Life and Love leads.
