Veiled
by Potter47

Is there a wind
inside this chamber?
I do not feel...
the veil still sways...

What was that?
That voice I heard...
I know I heard!
What did it say?

I ask the voice,
"What hides in there?"
Why won't it answer?
"Now, I say!"

Mutter, whisper,
murmur, mumble.
"I cannot hear!
What do you say?"

I walk, I amble,
run and scamper.
Closer, now,
I make my way.

It is so simple,
I now see,
I pull it back,
and now, I say:

"I have been fooled.
There's nothing here.
The other side's,
right there," I say.

I do not gather,
any warning,
any sign,
to go away.

I take a step.
And then another.
No! I'm trapped!
And here I stay.

But now, I
cannot see the other
side. I cannot
get away.
