19 Poems Dedicated To Baha'u'llah

1
Who Is Baha'u'llah?

Answered in my soul:
He is the reality
of Christ Returned in the Father's Glory;
the mirror of divinity.

2
Praise The Lord:
To Baha'u'llah

Progressive Revelation:
Religion is relative to the age in which it's revealed.
All religions are based upon truth; founded by one of God's Manifestations.
Independent investigation of truth.
Science and religion are the wings of civilization.
Evil is the lack of good; the lack of God.

There is only one God.
Humanity is a single race; a single species
Evolution is the instrument of God.

Love is the generating force of creation.
Obedience to God's Manifestation is obedience to God.
Revelation is God's method of guiding humanity.
Death opens the door to eternal life in all the worlds of God.

Awestruck
Oxygen atoms vibrate

Echoes

What would it be like to meet Baha'u'llah?
Until the beloved is found

Dawn

In the light of the rising sun,
The morning sky is scarlet,
Clouds of dogma block men's sight,
Obscuring the Lord's Return.

Mirror of divinity
Reflecting to quacking atoms
Love.

Baha'u'llah

Baha'u'llah
without the glory of Your music
I am a discordant chord.

Divine spring, God's promised one,
The Lord has come in glory,
That colors dawn's clouds deep red,
Blood of martyrs shed with joy.

Spirit of Truth

He is the spirit of truth,
come to guide humanity
to justice and unity.

In our darkness
we worship the lamps
instead of the light:
He has come to reveal
to us the unity of the light.

Immortal Sweets

The words of the King of Glory
The taste of honey and lemon
Merge to heal humanity
