Veil of Creation

This universe is trapped in time
Tomorrow my past, still lost inside
Each lesson something I have known
Reminding myself where I will go

Illusions of a dying man
Striking the light, reflecting sand
Again I crumble into pain
Until I’m surrounded by this again

Attract what I must now become
The fate I resist, like the blinding sun
Experience this life and death
Duality’s doors are stealing my breath

This earth a molecule of soul
The galaxy spins from the blackest hole
A universe beyond my mind
Reflecting the passion that burns inside

This universe is trapped in time
I spiral once more from the darkest light
Once more I realise I exist
Creating the moments that lift the mist

Yes, I have felt this truth. Even a truth does not hold off the pain or remove it; sigh. Feel better, know there are loving hearts, know you help others. Light & Love Debbie Guzzi Happy Holy Days

hmmmmmmm very interesting! time is a construct of man. I'm trying to learn and it looks like you're ahead of me. Why capitalization without punctuation?
