Baha'u'llah's Presence

Baha'u'llah's Presence

1

The Pacific
on a clear day
with a light breeze
playing across it surface.

2

Dawn over
the Rocky Mountains
after a mid August thunderstorm.

3

Starlight
moving through
the interstellar medium
energizing atoms.

4

Faith's pure sweet water
flowing from the Mountain of God
quenches humanity's thirst.

5

Reflected
from the perfect mirror
God's splendor
radiates to all humanity
melting ice bound hearts.

6

The Blessed Beauty stands
at my heart's door knocking.

7

Tranquility
Electrifies the morning air
Flows in waves across my mind.

8

I your presence,
O my Beloved,
flowing across the atoms of my mind.

9

I feel dead limbs tingling
as blood again flows
through veins collapsed
by apathy.
