Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Feast of Power

Feast of Power:
To the Blessed Beauty

Should anyone arise for the triumph of our Cause, him will God render victorious though tens of thousands of enemies be leagued against him. And if his love for Me wax stronger, God will establish his ascendancy over all the powers of earth and heaven. Thus have We breathed the spirit of power into all regions.

Bahá’u’lláh1

Blessed Beauty,
Thank you
for sufficing my hunger
with the all-pervading power
of your love.

I take my place
at the Table of the Lord
contemplating the omnipotence
of the revelation
of God
through the Pen of Baha'u'llah.

Thank you,
for quenching my spirit's thirst
with the water
of eternal life
as it flows across the planet
from the fountain
of Thy celestial might.
