Across the Veil of Dreams

All the Dreams and Visions
led me just one way.
Though my instincts held me back,
the Dreams said, "Don't delay!"
Looking in his eyes, I found
reasons to hesitate.
But the Visions pressed me forward,
saying "Do not wait!"

Feelings I came to have for him
locked me in stagnation.
I could not walk away from him--
seeing him was my privation.
All things pointed directly to him,
he stood in the spotlights' beams.
Yet, still, the brown eyes reached for me,
across the Veil of Dreams.

Everything inside screamed to me
that he was not The One.
Yet all others pulled away from me--
it seemed that all was done.
I tried to move things forward, but
it was an unequal equation.
As time went by, I knew that man
was NOT my Destination.

AS soon as I was certain,
my Exxon time was ended.
And I was left empty, with weakened faith,
could my heart be mended?
I was read to give up and walk away--
for no knowledge had been gleaned.
Then, again, the brown eyes cried out to me,
from across the Veil of Dreams.

What was supposed to happen there
had somehow come to pass.
I felt the Winds of Change blow through me,
for the time had come, at last.
Someone I had known there
would soon reach out to me.
The One I'd come here to find
was about to set me free.

I waited, yet was afraid to hope,
after disappointment and much pain.
If he came to me now,
could I open my heart again?
Would I truly know him,
in the way that I had seen?
Would I know the face that matched the eyes
looking through the Veil of Dreams?

Many got in contact,
but none fit me too well.
Even as the last one called,
I was ready to ignore the Veil.
I agreed to see him, once again,
but my faith was running out.
Though I was happy to see him again,
I was ready to turn about.

We laughed, we joked, we flirted--
though I was ready to be just friends.
I found comfort in his hugs and kiss--
found I'd rather it not end.
Looking deeply into his gold-brown eyes,
I saw all that I had seen.
These were the eyes that mesmerized--
that had called across the Veil of Dreams!
