Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Heavenly Blessings: To The Bab

Heavenly Blessings:
To The Bab

I contemplate
the heavenly blessings.

The first things that come to mind
are His books, tablets, epistles, and
commentaries upon the Qur'an.

Second
us the way the lives
of those who accepted Him
as the Lord of the Age
were transformed.

Before His word
called their soul
from the tomb of self
they were sparrows.

After their resurrection,
they became eagles
proclaiming His Cause
throughout Persia.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 118 of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab.
