Memories of Snow

A New Beginning

A New Beginning

At age sixty
I started my life over,
striving to live
not for myself,
but for my Best-Beloved.

I am unworthy to serve Him;
unworthy to proclaim His message to humanity,
yet I am here
awaiting His command,
offering my pen,
my body,
my blood,
my life,
to proclaim the oneness of the human race.
the oneness of religion,
the oneness of God
to a planet in the midst of Armageddon.

Poet's Note: ▶︎

I wrote this on 3 Sharaf 163 B.E. The prompt was a "New Beginning". The inspiration was my 60th birthday a few weeks before I wrote this poem.
