Blessed Planet

Blessed Planet:
To The Blessed Beauty

“Blessed is the spot, and the house, and the place, and the city, and the heart, and the mountain, and the refuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sea, and the island, and the meadow where mention of God hath been made, and His praise glorified.”

Bahá’u’lláh

There is no place on Earth,
that is Godforsaken,
because of one of God's Manifestations.

Blessed is the planet Earth!
Laughter and joyful singing celebrated
Each Prophet's birth.
Scriptures revealed to each religion,
Sacred texts to assist spiritual progression.
Each age had its own illnesses, needs, and
Divine Physician: God's Manifestation.

Praised be the Blessed Beauty!
Latest Manifestation of God,
And the Promised One of all religions.
No nation or people on Earth has God forsaken,
Each is blessed with a ray of Divine Light,
That shines through the lamps of God's Messengers.

Poet's Note: ▼

Poem 179 of 200 Dedicated to the Blessed Beauty. The first three line of this poem was posted on Facebook. I got the idea because someone referred to a desert as God forsaken.
