Veil

2 1 0
                                    

I've spent my whole life searching
For a screen, cast along the surface of the water
Reflecting the light as the sun sets

As the sun sets, it rises somewhere else

This is the short transition from life to death
Short yet vast

As watch the water
I start to see the veil—
And I see the other side

I see,
The other side of the water

So... what now?
