the veil...


How does something so light
Become too heavy to endure
The fabric leaving crease marks in my spirit
I remain trapped in this cocoon
Yet cradled and nurtured
Held between powerful hands
Yet protective hands
Hungering for air I breathe only from your breath
You see what I cannot
I ache for your touch
To remove this veil that has kept my heart hidden
So I may give freely of it yet again
