The Ends Veil

Have you ever pondered how life appeared to have moved along so fast, that you almost failed top notice it had passed this far on this road of life? Did you ever ask youself, “How the heck, did I get this far? It felt like I was x age, and now this age? How the sands of time have continued to flow fast and all we saw or failed to see remained behind us on this road, Such is the joys and sorrows of “The Sands of Time” or as I call it “The Ends Veil”.

About The Poem:

Todays poem as you may guess at this point, is about “The Sands of Time” Or as I am calling it “The Ends veil” that creeps ever closer. A simple poem about our own mortality, you may find. But it is meant for one to ponder deeper as we bathe in the still waters of life, where the storms have stilled for now. This is where we can bask in the quietness of that time in life and ask ourselves the questions we need to ask.

But I am NOT setting those questions here for you to read, BUT instead I am setting the seeds of thought that should grow enough to sprout thoughts within your own mind. That is IF you are at such a time to ponder things. Whether it is the Minefield of Religions OR Faith, Or again where we see our lives compared to where we wished it to be.

All such thoughts and questions are for you the reader to discover and ask of yourselves. Below you will find a poem that takes on this thought of “The Ends Veil” and still such questions are no where to be found.

However I will be interested to read of peoples thoughts and questions (where possible) that they ask of themselves. I know in my case it is the long trail of mistakes and burdens I have carried and left behind me. Or the regrets which are a few. But still there is little that we can do about this but learn from such areas.

Having said all of this, Please enjoy this poem.

The Ends Veil



By waters still, tranquility remains,
Those troubled sea's, roar like distant refrains.
Stumbling along, each step ne’er mistaken,
The sands of time, slowly flow, unshaken.


Heartaches and pain, - near they linger clear,
Unseen hurdles, thus near left to appear.
Yet walking, in the glow, of love's pure light,
Dreams of tomorrow often, - take flight.


This, love's highway, that twists and turns, ne’er ends,
A lonely journey, feels that never bends.
Memories remain here, on your life’s road,
But a day dreamer, lost with love's sweet load.


Asleep at the wheel, where the moon bleeds red,
The wounded heart fed, - but filled with dread.
The sands of time, Still, continues to fall,
Storm winds blow past in nights, we take to crawl.


In waters still, bathing, where secrets sleep,
On troubled sea's, - where heart ache there creep.
The sands of time yet flows - without fail,
Then mortality raises, it’s Ends Veil.

ENDING THOUGHTS:

Thank you for following me on this journey, that is incomposing and creating poetry. If Life is a journey which we all walk on, then my journey in creating Poetry is a journey of it’s own. Which I still learn much on as I write.

At times I experiment on methods or way how I can improve my poetry, therefore getting feedback is always most welcome for such as these.

When I write poetry, some readers may be offended with something within the poetry. I do not write to offend, But such are written for reasons I outline in the posts. Often I miss typos and mistakes when publishing each poem. BUT I correct the moment I discover such mistakes.

But Poetry is a form of art work that I enjoy and thus using it in a manner to touch or inspire the reader.

I would like to Pass on my thanks to you for joining me on this journey.

Poetry is a learning curve where I always strive to improve. Often due to the speed of my typing and a few other issues, mistakes and typos will find their way into published posts. I continue to work on improving this as I move along. One such change is how I have been writing and how my poetry appears in relation to how the rest of the blog appears. So much work goes into editing and reediting and then repeating that process on a number of occasions until i am happy with the result.

Please forgive for any such mistakes and for your understanding this.
