The Veil

Children from elsewhere
Sneak and clamber
Through the night

Waiting for an invitation
A breech in your foundation
Through which to arrive

Trans-dimensional teachers
With cryptic procedures
Gaining Earthly rights

Technological faeries
Coerced dignitaries
Straining for a fair fight

Coiled dimensions
Unfurling invocations
Dissolving conventions
Now the dreamers can enter

Don’t reduce the veil
The custodians
Can be ethically incomprehensible

Curtains conceal the veil
First big stares
Frozen aware

Consciousness slithery fair
Poses, riddles, dares
Promises liberated lives

All miracles, no beliefs
Occasional, persistent feats
Repetitive displays
With a new guise

Ignored announcements
Disclosure marginalized
Still debating lights
And our egos in the sky

When you reduce the veil
You know not from where
And whence they came

When you demand material
You miss the horse Trojan
With sylphs most alchemical
