Meditations on The Writings of Baha'u'llah

1
My Sanctuary

In the words of Baha'u'llah,
I find a fortress safe and strong
where the cares and strife of modern life
neither linger nor belong.

His words inspire my heart to find
the love that hate conceals,
His pen inscribes upon my spirit
the faith that tests reveal.

His verses are my sanctuary
bestowing peace on mind and soul,
His sacred scriptures God's book of laws
to which obedience is my goal.

2
Healing

Healing occurs
In the silent hours
When I reflect on Baha'u'llah's words

3
The Sacred Verses

I see visions
of a grea ter glory
when I swim in the ocean of His words.

I hear music
of the spheres
when I intone His verses.

4
Coffee with Baha'u'llah

Word by word I read His Tomes:
I drink His glorious brew
from the mug of love.

5
Holy Grail

I have found the Holy Grail
in the writings of Baha'u'llah,
in the Lawh-i-Aqdas--
the Tables to the Christians--
and the Kitab-i-Iqan.

6
His Prayers

Magnets
attracting the knowledge of God
and divine assistance.

7
God's Voice

The voice of God spoke
through the Pen of Glory
inscribing verses.

8
Reading the Summons of the Lord of Hosts

Word by word I sip
the wine of divine knowledge
from the chalice of glory.

9
The Hidden Words

The distilled essence
of all past revelations:
Wine of divine love.

I wrote the first poem in Sultan 153 B.E. The other poems were written at different time, however, all of them are on the same subject.
