Beyond the Veil

I dreamt of a stairway to heaven
but I couldn't find it through the haze
heard it was a place where all is forgiven
guardians above the sisters of seven

I met a wizard in an enchanted forest
tell me, do you ever hear the stars
how would I know, I'm an accidental tourist
if love heals, why do I still carry the scars

Beyond the veil, redemption is calling
and the stars are forever falling, falling, falling

Stumbling in the darkness, a beam of light
why is a rose filled with beauty and thorns
I heard a lyrical song whispering in the night
mysterious shadows, a pair of doves mourn

Tired of traveling all these dead-end roads
climbing a spiraling staircase into the clouds
a hundred fireflies dancing in a warm glow
and the wizard transformed in a mystical owl

Beyond the veil, redemption is calling
and the stars are forever falling, falling, falling

The challenge today is to choose a musical artist, song, or genre of music and write a poem inspired by it or them. 

I chose a mix of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin - as a dreamer this song speaks volumes and the band Seven Sisters.  I recently started listening to them a metal band with some interesting lyrics. 

Thanks for visiting - I took creative liberties and put my own spin on things...
