The Veil

I feel weak, I feel drained

my soul is suffering

I feel no pain

the walls close in

my heart remains

empty,

nothing exists but the strange sounds of the abyss

the quarrels of the darken wind

the burial of all my sins

the letting go of the past deep within

or the releasing of the hidden wounds that rest beneath my skin.

In this paradox, all seems untrue

my heart is being conditioned, so I will not become aloof.

It’s hard to see the truth

when things are expected of you.

How can one flourish when their heart can’t feel You?

There’s no joy in laughter

no peace in silence,

I’m still, but it seems You are in hiding.

My mind races with 1000 thoughts

thinking and wondering where You are.

You are so close

as You’re right in front of me,

but the veil covers my eyes so I can’t see.

My intuition is no longer awake,

so, I wrestle with fear to get out of this state.

Another test that comes with the territory.

Serving You is where I find my glory. In You is where I find my life.

Oftentimes I run from the light

because I’m not sure of what’s on the other side.

I ask myself, what am I afraid of?

All that You are is wrapped in love,

the most precious gift You’ve given us.

To be healed

to be free

to live life abundantly.

The more and more I think of these things,

the veil slowly lifts, and all I can see is me.
