THE VEIL

I see each of you behind the veil that would wall
Not clearly but I know you are there
Your world and mine so similar and yet not
Light years away yet close as the breath

You are part of me and I of you then and now
When we danced life through us
My story and yours woven so tightly
Yet I saw one way and you another

You see clearly now while my eyes see through mist
Ever straining to connect the dots
It is not mine to have all the answers
Nor is it yours to give them all

We disposed of your bodies as your spirit went free
The next generation will do as much to mine
And I will see what you see on the other side of the veil
While they ponder my presence in the dance with them
