I like the metaphor you used for the title of your poem, indeed the faith it's a fragile veil. I think the free verse chosen as a frame for the poem offers new context go the way we perceive this world.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This free verse almost follows a sonnet format, which is so often the form used for love.
What an excellent beginning with eyes closed and not being able to see the answers you are seeking in the first section.

You build upon that theme in the second section.

Then there is a turn in the twelfth line, speaking of seeking and offering more to the wounded love.

Great summation to complete the poem in the last two lines.

I love this line:
"a haunting song of wholeness"
It's out there just hoping to become complete.

    Thank you so very much, Debi. I have been fortunate to have come across some deeply beautiful writings on the perspective of the Ego and how it has come to create so much chaos in the world. I think a healthy ego is important, but I feel it needs to be tuned by love. Anyway, it's so very kind of your to review my poem so generously, and I do appreciate it.

I like this free verse with the metaphor of a haunting song. I like your idea of offering forgiveness even when brother is pitted against brother. I like this excellent phrase, "embracing a disordered wholeness."

Oh my, Bev, how wonderful to read your poetry again! I will most certainly have to check my messages because I don't think I have had any notices...?

This is marvelous, as your writing is always, and beautifully presented. I am happy that it ended on an upbeat note too. :)

Best of luck in the contest, my friend!
