The Veils

The Veils 

There are no words for what lies 

          beyond the veils. 

"When they put on their garments, 

does He not know what they conceal 

          and what they reveal?" 

The harrowing speaks in every 

language --all words dissolve. 

"We gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose about it. And but 

for a Word from your Lord, already 

decreed, their fate would have long 

          been sealed." 

God's mercy speaks without words. 

Trials he gives occur without words, 

          burn without words.
