Before all's over

This (pictured) 1992 volume, from Ayrshire poet William Neill, is well worth seeking out ...

... here's one of my favourites from within:


Veil

As if it had not been,
the grey mists cover
all we have ever seen
of life and lover.
Where we have yet to be
the dark clouds hover,
hiding what we shall see
before all's over.

William Neill (1922 - 2010)
