How To Remove The Veil

How To Remove The Veil

A Poem by knowman
"

The other side of the mirror

"

How to remove this Veil, we have.

The Understanding would be fair.

Before, one can remove anything at all,

You’d need to know its there!

So first, what is this Veil of Soul?

This space between then and now,

What’s there, that separates us from God,

And why is it there, anyhow?

It’s a place of seven heavens,

That each of us has passed,

Each relate, to creations of God,

That is why we last.

We started as rock, call Earth,

But very much alive,

Then vegetable, and animal,

Then finally, man arrived.

Well, in this transformation,

From the solid to the flesh,

We went through the heavens,

Put together like a finely knitted mesh.

While in this transformation,

This Veil was being laid,

But like a mirror, when we pass,

The foundation is firmly made.

There is no return in the flesh,

But the Spirit absorbs it all,

And as passing, as in death,

Our efforts are held real tall.

Once again we pass those places,

And life becomes anew,

We may do this, a thousand times,

Before we get it through.

So buck up and clear your stress,

It gets better every time,

Each time you come around,

You write a better rhyme.

So learn a lot and you’ll pass your Veil,

And see these things are True,

Then it will disappear,

Right in front of you!

I loved this....It is quiet deep for me...I read it twice to get the full impact of the piece. I like the subtle humour towards the end...but what nails it is the last 2 lines....yes, it will all disappear right in front of us. Thank you for sharing this.

a very accurate world-view and precised declaration for the circle of life. how it begins 'How to remove this Veil, we have.The Understanding would be fair.' and how it ends 'see these things are True, Then it will disappear, Right in front of you!' , is genius. I adore the last lines the most. Well-written.
