Quays of Space and Time

Quays of Space and Time

There are worlds only soul can touch,
beyond the limits of our race:
Worlds too distant for our eyes to see,
too small for our hands to grasp,
Or to large for our strides to cross;
where Jehovah by other names is known.

We feel the echoes of these worlds,
in dreams that haunt our deepest sleep;
in dreams that beckon us to flee
matter's insecurity
and ride on particles of light.

There are dimensions only soul can see,
beyond the touch of mattered time:
Dimensions where death is not life's paramour
in which our souls live eternally.

We are the quays of s pace and time,
from which our souls set sail
to experience reality
and explore immortality.

I wrote this poem sometime in 156 B.E. The inspiration was the scriptures revealed by Baha'u'llah.
