Under the VeilA Poem by norajust a poem about lifting the mask and looking underneath.
Under the Veil
The wind dances with grass,
The trees sway, leaves singing.
The stars are twinkling,
The moon’s light is bringing…
…A smile, a titter.
An air of happiness.
A small bit of heaven,
Nothing more, nothing less.
But beneath the beauty,
There’s an insensate cold.
A note of self-hatred,
Gripped in an iron-hold.
The heart of ice flutters,
It’s beat dying out.
The rhythm of breathing,
A cloud of rising doubt.
The frost is thickening,
The sun won’t prevail.
It slowly dulls and fades,
As the rays try and fail.
In this barren abyss,
They will sit here and wait…
…For the sun to try once more,
Or for pain to dilate. © 2009 noraAuthor's Note
