Veil

Midsummer's relentless heat assails the flesh
Yet the desert saints were consumed by spirit
Extremes, I think, foster letting go
of nonessential things.

In the descending twilight,
A lone deer passed near a sanctuary window,
Celtic legend's guide to the Otherworld.
The evening's clouds were wine dark islands
Afloat in a vast serene sea,
Ever vanishing veil between time and the timeless.
