Caught in the Veil
I’m caught between worlds;
Veil of heaven and earth
My soul floats, unfurled
Among sadness and mirth
Captured in minutes;
My life ’fore my eyes
Grasping sentiments
Scattered sands of my times
Every joy passes through me;
The mist of my essence
Each tear gleaming, shimmery
Alighting my substance
My soul longs for heaven
Where sorrow’s no more
Yet, my gaze glances downward;
My body, below
I’ve just minutes to choose;
The perfect and pure
Or the sorrows I knew
My companions on earth
The time passes quickly
Few seconds remain
I gasp of the heavenly
Fill my earthen remains
I swallow the light
With all of my being
Flee the tunnel of bright
Seven minutes, deciding
The pain’s worth the love
The joys exceed grief
I part from above
With new found beliefs
