The Veil of Light
(In the spirit of Ibn Arabi and Al-Hallaj)
A hush before the dawn descends,
a breath between the worlds—
where silence bows to hunger’s prayer
and thirst unbinds the soul.
O traveler, cast away your name,
for in this month of veils removed,
the self dissolves, the heart is wide,
a mirror turned to Truth.
The moon has carved a sacred path,
a thread through time and yearning,
where hunger is but love’s embrace
and thirst, a fire burning.
Not mine, nor thine, nor his, nor hers,
but One, the breath that sings,
One hunger felt in different tongues,
One thirst from different springs.
The beggar and the king alike,
the temple and the street,
all shadows in the light of love
where knowing and known must meet.
So fast, O heart, from all that binds,
from fleeting forms and pride,
drink not from ego’s empty cup,
but let the soul abide.
For peace is not a land afar,
nor God a distant throne—
but light within, a secret spark,
a Love that is our own.
The Gentile!
