Behind the Curtain
So many other worlds
Just one hair’s breadth away
Whisper tales to me
Of things they’d never say
Lives we’ve never lived,
A forgotten mystery.
What if? You ask-
The answer unheard.
Who knows what joys
-and wonders untold -
Await in those worlds
Just behind time’s fold.
They seem wondrous to us-
Such a mystery they are.
And yet, our world is real too
And a mystery to them
-those who dwell behind the curtain
That miraculous wonder that we find
In their worlds,
Is the same mystery
That they find in ours
So many other worlds
Just one hair’s breadth away
Whisper tales to me
Of things they’d never say
Lives we’ve never lived,
A forgotten mystery.
What if? You ask-
The answer unheard.
Who knows what joys
-and wonders untold -
Await in those worlds
Just behind time’s fold.
They seem wondrous to us-
Such a mystery they are.
And yet, our world is real too
And a mystery to them
-those who dwell behind the curtain
That miraculous wonder that we find
In their worlds,
Is the same mystery
That they find in ours
