The dance of the seven veils

 The dance of the seven veils
 
God awoke after a timeless nap,
stretched Himself and (per Meher) asked
 
Who am I? and thus began
our adventure in corporality.
 
But surely the All-knowing One
knew the answer beforehand!
 
Perhaps, existence is merely God’s
thumbing through an old diary
 
reading it through our mortal eyes, ears,
mouth, nose and skin to revive the narrative.   
 
There may be nothing new under the sun,
but there is also nothing new
 
in the darkness of the Void.  God woke up
to shine a light upon Himself
 
with Maya being central to the plot –
its revelation, conflict and resolution.
 
O child, corporality is the dance of the seven veils.
Be not enchanted by the performance.
