Veils of the Mind by Sonam

How much lies cloaked by the
veils of the mind?
What parts of ourselves
do we barely even know?

Are there capabilities,
veiled by our inner phobias?
Are there answers,
if we only knew where to look?

Do we create the veils ourselves,
as we leave so much of our life
on autopilot?
Do we start to see through the transparencies
only to find in the next second
that we've missed our opportunity?

Looking down the long road of these
and similar questions...
A small voice whispers,
that these questions are themselves the answers.

When you ask one of these questions,
you can acknowledge and see
the mind's veils for what they are...
only light, airy curtains,
that can be lifted to reveal
a benchmark for the mind as such.
