Veils of the Night
Nights once veiled in obscurity,
Tainted from view and clarity,
Overshadowed from the glimpse of light,
Prescience of joy eluding sight,
As dusk settles,
The truth nettles,
Where the veils are lifted for a glimpse at the harrowing eyes,
Eyes that justice and joy denies,
Sorrow that brims from the eyelid,
Pride that seems worthy of a mere bid,
Destiny entwined with a meaningless existence,
Nothing to account for but mere presence,
Her tears brings storms of agony,
Her pains so many,
Yet, a pillar of strength she stands,
Her family through everything she defends,
A rose in a barren land,
She is the gentle hand,
Caress and hold,
Unflinchingly she molds,
Character and love,
The blessing from the stars above,
As the light slices through the dusky night,
The angst takes flight,
Twinkling stars clutter the now lit skies,
And destiny is defied……
