The Veil

and the Shimmering

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

The veil is thinning and shimmering

All around me beckoning me to come home

And I know you are there

Just barely out of reach

I feel I could touch you

Only if…

While you wait for me to let go and surrender

And pray for me to have the faith

That there are greater forces working for us

My fear of the unknown is

Nothing more than an illusion

A manifestation of ego

And human doubt

So much human doubt

My soul knows better

My soul knows the truth

You are me

I am you

We are one

You reach your strong arms out to me

Every night, holding me close while I sleep

Whispering in my ear

“You are and always have been my beloved.

You will be home soon. I love you so much.”

Keeping me warm and safe

Protecting me, possessing me

Loving me

Keeping me yours

Until we are truly together again
