Beyond The Veil

A sudden shock, a sudden leap
Floating then flying through the night
Would I really want to leave forever?
Mysteries grow few and far between
And in the end there’s only one
The smallest clue would be a revelation
When I was young I longed to know
What lies beyond the veil
If my mind could only see it
But as I come closer it whispers
I don’t want to tell — the things that it says in my dreams
Excitement turns to fear and dread
Something I prayed for once denied
So many times I thought this was what I wanted
Now it’s here, I don’t know what to think
This isn’t how I thought I’d feel
The decades now seem a fleeting moment
When I was young I longed to know
What lies beyond the veil
Now I don’t want to see it
As I come closer it whispers
I don’t want to tell — the things that it says in my dreams
The things that I think I can see
