Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Divine Elixir: To The Bab

Divine Elixir:
To The Bab

"Indeed God hath created everywhere around this Gate oceans of divine elixir, tinged crimson with the essence of existence and vitalized through the animating power of the desired fruit;..."

The Bab1

Word by word
I sip the elixir of unity
and equality

Sentence by sentence
I consume the fruit of oneness
and solidarity.

God's word
is the elixir that unites,
and God's word is love.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 102 of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab.
