Love's Magnet: To 'Abdu'l-Baha

Love's Magnet:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

"...Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms..."

Abdu’l‑Bahá12

God's love is the magnet
that draws us together
as a single species.

God's love is the power
that generated the universe,
and set the stars,
with their planets
into motion.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem #57 of the 100 I am writing for the Centenary of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
