Dedicated the the Baha'i Spiritual Assemblies

Dedicated to the Baha'i Spiritual Assemblies
Across the World

1

Distant light twinkle
Stars in the heaven of hope
Shine for the Beloved

2

Phoenixes of faith
Consumed in certitude's blaze
Reborn from doubt's ashes
Raised by the Glory of God

3

Rockets exploding
In mid air they consecrate
The new Day of God

4

Faith's arrows fly high
Scarlet stains white doves feathers

5

Followers of light
Resurrected from self's tomb
Commemorate God's new age

6

Scarlet carnations
Grown in the soil of Baha

7

Grains separated
From the chaff by the winds of test
Ground by God's millstone

8

White tulips streaked red
Bloom for the Glory of God

9

Nine red roses spring
From the soil of faith bloom for
'Abdu'l-Baha

10

Candles of God
Illuminating the world

11

Snow white carnations
Blossom edges stained scarlet
Displayed in a crystal vase

12

Owls flying at dawn
Blind to all save the Beloved
Ascend to heaven
Impaled by arrows of love

13

Evergreens of life
Consumed by the fire of love
Reborn in paradise

14

Children of God
Building His Kingdom on Earth

15

Scarlet roses reborn
Through the power of faith grow
Fro Baha'u'llah

16

Nightingales of love
Celebrate the returned Lord
The Glory of the Father

17

Certitude's essence
Birds of Paradise blosom
In Ridvan's garden

18

Explosions of love
Spread the oil of faith on the
Sea of disbelief

Sets fire to stagnate
Waters of dogma and frees
The phoenix of certitude

19

Unity's candles
Flames in God's pillar of light
Disperse denizens of night
