Just Behind the Veil

Tiny rainbows appear
On the wall and ceiling
Each sunlit morning
Reminding me
You are always near.
Just like fireflies,
A gentle reminder 
Of the beauty
Of the spirit realm. 
Just like music
That evokes
The etheric.
Just like dreams
That linger
After we sleep.
Or when light
Illuminates 
Dancing leaves
On whispering trees. 
We remember
Our loved ones
Just behind the veil.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
