Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Feast of Questions

Feast of Questions:
To the Blessed Beauty

"Were any man to ponder in his heart that which the Pen of the Most High hath revealed and to taste of its sweetness, he would, of a certainty, find himself emptied and delivered from his own desires, and utterly subservient to the Will of the Almighty. Happy is the man that hath attained so high a station, and hath not deprived himself of so bountiful a grace."

Bahá’u’lláh1

Who is God's Greatest Name?
Baha'u'llah,
The Glory of God,
He is the supreme manifestation of Divine attributes,
and the Pen unraveling
the intricacies of the Holy Books.

What has the Pen of the Most High revealed?
The solutions
to the problems
plaguing humanity.

When will these solutions be implemented?
When the principles of unity
are universally applied.

Where can we find the principles of unity?
In the verses
of the Nightingale of Divine love,
who nest
in the boughs of the Tree of Life.

Why does God's Nightingale sing?
To proclaim
the subtleties of faith.

How do we find the Tree of Life?
Meditate on that
which the Pen of God
has written
in to books of Divine wisdom
and empty yourself
of acquired knowledge
in your search for truth.
