The Veils

The veils are battered and broken,

but the veils shine so bright.

With the moon they illuminate, but are so easily out of sight.

The veils don’t lose charge, they simply wrinkle.

The wrinkles and folds are part of their charm,

they can fit in small places, even your palm.

When in one’s hands, and lifted into sight,

these beautiful veils can light up the night.

So full of rich emotion;

this love is not a potion.

Though it is by all means love;

the way it glides through the air, the way it feels when they’re not there.

These veils are such a comfort, they are elegant, mysterious, and full of wonder.

Every time I think that I am done,

a new journey with them has begun.

These veils are hard to ignore,

they add grace to almost every floor.

The way they gently hold me, and the way I hold them.

There’s no denying that the veils and I are friends.

Love through the wind, love on the ground, love for the aether, love all around.

Love on the sides, and love from within, if one feels without love, the veils bring love again.

The veils will put one in a trance.

These veils may make one want to dance.

These veils, with everlasting energy and grace.

These veils are soft and silky, not rough, like lace.

Though lace is absolutely stunning, and still has its place.

The beauty of these veils is fun to describe,

though nothing compares to seeing these veils live.

It’s not just the sight that is absolutely appealing,

these veils are stunningly healing.

If you think that these veils are merely for looks, than you have only just begun to see.

And once you begin to see, you will see me, and not just me, but you.

For that is what these veils do.

They show us ourselves, through the eyes of another.

They show us through the eyes of ourselves.

Some people think that veils are minimal,

but the truth is, that veils are pivotal.

These veils are powered by something within,

and it’s difficult to stop, once you begin.

The veils are a healthy outlet, so why would one wish to stop?

The veils promote healing, in case one forgot.

Do they not?

Moderation is key, the elegance comes naturally.

The duration that these veils can provide,

if one can simply, push them aside.

It’s true that even the veils make unfortunate mistakes,

but we are on Earth, and sometimes that’s the path we take.

Yet the path is only part of the journey.

Be efficient, try not to hurry.

Unless of course, the games involve a race,

but to learn and enjoy, is still largely the case.

The veils offer protection, comfort and flight,

but often to only to those, who don’t act out of spite.

The veils, though thought of as simple,

teach some of the most valuable lessons.

The veils often count a mistake as a blessing.

The veils will see a mistake, as a chance to learn, and grow.

The veils will remind us, that we reap what we sow.

The veils teach us, that to some questions, we may never get the answer.

The veils give their own speech, in a non-verbal manner.

These veils remind one to breathe.

They remind one that there are many ways to perceive.

Like a dull, lifeless fabric, laying on the ground,

to people dancing and happy all around.

The veils are very consistent; yet full of surprises.

The veils have many traits, yet are always alive.

These veils will teach you insanity in the same breath they make you sane.

These veils can make one feel like rags to riches… or the opposite, in vain.

Each time with these veils, there’s something to lose, and something to gain.

Each time with these veils, is never the same.
