How many veils must be lifted
till your glimpse is granted?
How much pride must be sacrificed
till your grandeur is recognized?
How many desires must be forsaken
till my soul awakens?
How many tears must fall
till my spirit is truly fed?
How much knowledge must be unlearned
till your gnosis is gained?
How many reasons must be silenced
till your love becomes my truth?
How many temptations must be fought
till the distance between us is none?
How many petals of "I" must wither
till only your flower remains?
How many colors of self must fade
till your rainbow is revealed?
How many songs must go unheard
till your melody alone stirs me?
How much jealousy must wound me
till I rely on your sincerity?
How many wars with myself must I win
till your disclosure begins?
How many words must I write
till silence becomes my expression?
How many memories must I erase
till my nights are for your praise?
How many illusions must I deny
till the devil’s tricks are defied?
How much vanity must die
till you acknowledge my humility?
How much should I serve your creation
till I fulfill the meaning of human?
How much should I revere your name
till the key to your treasure is mine?
How much self-worship must be undone
till I am embraced by you,
the Veiled One.
