Exposed

That door you flung wide open
Releasing a flock of scared birds
Roosting in my heart
Fluttering in a million wingbeats
Before disappearing into the light of a new dawn.

The veils you casually stripped away
Exposing the masks of my own undoing
I now stand before you
Revealed in your presence.

The door is opened
The veils are dropped
The hermetic seals are broken
All that remains is an empty vessel
Filled with a holy light.
