Beyond the Veil

Evening tunes resonate

Through deep forest halls

A breeze to whisper secrets

The ghost of me engulfed

For I linger in the quiet

Entranced by nature’s rhythm

A spirit that attunes

In the stillness with precision

My hand outstretched before me

A hidden veil within my grasp

Now I step beyond reality

For the dreamers’ daring task

I wade through mystic waters

Ascend by faith alone

Soaring beyond the treetops

‘Til I sense a veritable tone

She sings to me in time

Wisdom’s graceful tune

I meld with every line

Until my soul becomes attuned

But there are others here

Who watch and wait in shadow

Lest I wander a little too far

Always beckoning me to follow

But I have seen their eyes

A hatred that seeps through

To soak my soul in madness

Until I cannot see what’s true

I nearly fell to one

When temptation took ahold

But I cut short the deal

Before my heart was fully sold

Still she leapt upon me

That witch with forked tongue

But I called His name relentless

Aware of what I’d done

Now I do take heed

Not to listen to their drippings

For I know the end is death

I hold fast to keep from slipping

And so I drift along

Listening to quiet rhythm

Wary of the sirens

To whose songs I will not listen

Soon the voices will break through

And I’ll plummet back to Earth

Shattering planes of existence

Until in my head, they’re only words

But I will think of them

In every quiet hour

Until the day I need them most

And they grant me all their power
