Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Forgiveness: To The Bab

Forgiveness:
To The Bab

Forgive us,
O Lord,
the doubts
that come between
our souls
and the Mirror of Thyself.

I contemplate the prayer
revealed by the Bab,
prayer requesting Thy forgiveness
and Thy mercy.

I am awestruck
by the purity
that flows through
each sentence and paragraph

There is no God
but Thee,
O Lord,
in this age
you have blessed Earth
with a double outpouring
of the Primal Will--
the Holy Spirit--
in the Bab
and Baha'u'llah.

Please forgive us
our doubts
and open he Gates of Paradise
so that we can enter in unity.
