Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Herald of a New Dawn: To The Bab

Herald of a New Dawn:
To The Bab

He appeared at a pivotal time
in history,
when the shadows
of dogma and superstition
veiled the inner light
of faith
and covered the common foundation
of religion,
with the crumbling stones
of ancient places of worship.

The herald of a new dawn,
the Bab
proclaimed unity
and announced the approach
of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest,
of Baha'u'llah--
the Glory of God.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 189 of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab.
