The Unveiling


Rain falling
Distance beckoning -- calling
As Ahab’s Moby of the sea
In a heartbeat
World changes -- ideal rearranges
Sink in wished for life to be
Do I 
Dare dream on -- face the dawn
Challenge swells of angry sea?
Should I
Solve the mystery -- try change history
Lift this veil -- show the world this shadow
Is me?
