The Veil

CAST from your sight the veil

That comes between

Each time you turn its gaze

Towards the Unseen.

A transient
lm of light

Obscures your soul

And hides the ineffable view

Of the aureole

That gleams beyond our skies

Of thought and sleep,

Crowning eternitys

Invisible deep.

The moments are pale and bare

Of Times barrenness,

Heart-throbs of joy and grief

Perturb the caress

Of heavens ultimate dream

Around your earth

Waking its frozen life

Into new birth.

The ickering sun must set

With its shadow-tears,

And the cry of the centuries

Pass from your ears,

A song of love and beauty

Break the hushed breath

Of everlasting Mind

On the peak of Death.
