Who feels it knows it.

Who feels it knows it.

A Poem by SELF

Heaven and Hell shielded by just a veil and a choice. 
a veil on our sight
a veil on our ears
a veil in our hearts
Within the limits of our free will that isn't really free
we choose, we have a choice,
a choice to un-veil our sight
a choice to un-veil our ears
a choice to un-veil our hearts.
Tik-Tok
the clock keeps ticking
surely the shock of The Hour is a grievous thing
the cycles of our planet linger on 
the Sun and the Moon mark their territories, instruments for time reckoning
A big ball of fire with a diameter of 853,000 miles made subservient to a creation from dust.
Beyond the veil of the night,
dreams are shuttered and my soul is taken away
beyond the veil of the night,
the restless find no escape and the hopeful find themselves in another reality
beyond the veil of the night
the stars in the sky lead the way
and of course,
there is light beyond that veil.
Light floats my soul right back into my body as the first white line of a new dawn appears. 
In that moment, the birds are chirping and I'm contemplating on the fact that in all the times I've slept, I've never really known the EXACT moment it happens, it just happens!
Incredible.
My eyelids slowly loosen their grip and the witnessing of my reflection makes its inception.
The man in the mirror wanders off in the corners of His mind
breathes in breathes out
stops, 
realizes,
"a million atoms just died in a speck of time just so I can live".  
death making way for life.
Blood may well be thicker than water
life taking life, death making space for life. 
I'm in a big room, but the biggest room is always room for improvement and certainly, cold truths make room for the warm lies.
Will you judge me by what your eyes see?
will you place me in sects and shades?
I sure hope not.
Cast my skin aside and let my soul meet yours, raw and bare.
Words and letters tuned to the rhythm of life,
poetry in motion.
A motion laced with spiritual ingredients.
If you can't feel it you can't know it!
