Devotional Poetry

The Great Yes

The Great Yes

This is the choice that comes only once;
This is the answer to love's questions;
This is the difficult choice between opposites;
This is the affirmation of spirituality;
This is the soul's confirmation of faith;
This is the demarcation between heaven and hell;
This is the answer required to open the gates of paradise;
This is the consummation of divine love;
This is the double positive of immortality.

I wrote this on 2 Kamal 161 B.E. It was inspired by a conversation or reading a poem about accepting Baha'u'llah in regards to salvation.
