Beyond the veil

Lying here on the hard ground
I hear you talking but you making no sound.
Blinded by the darkness
I feel my way and try to grasp it.

I’ll sink and melt into the light,
Resting before my soul can take flight.
Listen carefully for the silence of the sound,
Keep on looking; you’ll know I’ve been found.

Gripped by phantoms of the unknown
Reap the rewards of what’s been sown.
Smile while I can, I know
It’s gone too far, too late, too slow.

I’ll sink and melt into the light,
Resting before my soul can take flight.
Listen carefully for the silence of the sound,
Keep on looking; you’ll know I’ve been found.

Gripped by phantoms of the unknown
Reap the rewards of what’s been sown.
Smile while I can, I know
It’s gone too far, too late, too slow.
