Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Manifestations of God

Manifestations of God:
To the Blessed Beauty

Mirrors of divinity
reflecting God's attributes
to humanity.

Each one evidence
of the existence of God;
all tokens of divine love.

Each established a religion,
revealed laws and ordinances,
a Holy Book.

Who were these divine reflections?
What were their names,
titles,
or designations?

Baha'u'llah
The Bab
Muhammad
Christ
Buddha
Moses
Krishna
Zoroaster
Abraham
