Bicentenary Poems and Prose

The Birdge: To The Bab

The Bridge:
To The Bab

It is the power of the Holy Spirit
that inspire humanity's reawakening
through the Manifestations of Divinity.

The Bab the bridge between
the Prophetic Cycle
and the Cycle of Fulfillment;
He is the Gate
to the knowledge of God.

All the Messengers of the past--
         Abraham,
         Moses,
         Zoroaster,
         Krishna,
         Buddha,
         Jesus Christ,
         Mohammad--
proclaimed the Word of God
and revealed a chapter
in the religion of God
to humanity.

The Bab,
the Gate of God,
and Herald of Baha'u'llah
was the dawning light
of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

Baha'u'llah,
the Glory of God,
The Living Temple of the Almighty.
The voice of the Primal Will for today.
and the Prince of Peace.

It is the power
of the Primal Will--
the Holy Spirit--
to educate
through the messengers from the Almighty
the human soul.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 36 of the 200 I'm writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab. The theme is Progressive Revelation, and part of it are stanzas I of an unfinished poem on Progressive Revelation that I decided to discard because it wasn't working out.
