The Veil of Light
after Al-GhazaliIn the stillness of the heart's deep night,
where whispers of the soul take flight,
a single flame begins to glow,
the light that only stillness shows.
The soul, like water, flows to the sea.
In the realm of the infinite, we are free.
Every veil we thought was real
was only distance we could feel.
So let the heart forget its haste,
and taste what hurry cannot taste —
for what is sought was never far,
only hidden behind the veil we are.
