Thin is The Veil

 

listen…

to the primordial canticle 
that weaves itself
like a desert wind

through the 
falling leaves 
and yielding branches 
of your soul...

inhale…

this 
living
haunting
incantation;

on this 
hallowed eve,
when the veil 
is stretched so thin;

all is made to glisten,
to glow...

all is made to speak
in dark whispers...

shhhhhhhhh…

sip the liquid moonlight,

claim your crown of stars,

feel the earth breathe beneath your feet...

the river is your mirror;
what do you see?

on this 
dark night, 

in this sleepy 
midnight 
hollow…
