The Thinning Of The Veil

I wonder if you know about

the thinning of the veil?

Some say it’s just for Halloween,

a ghostly, Old Wives’ Tale.

I hope it is a place to meet

between your world and mine.

For me, to be a child again.

A chance to turn back time.

I may have missed you touch my hair

and tuck my quilt in tight.

Perhaps you just peeked through the door

to whisper “Love, goodnight”.

If you could come back once a year

I know you wouldn’t fail.

So, I wonder if you know

about the thinning of the veil?

A meeting place of memory

where love will always flow.

I fell asleep and waited but

I guess you didn’t know.

I pray that I will hear you

whisper to me once again.

The veil will thin once more next year

so I can wait ‘til then.
