Melting Snow

Lamp of Glory

Jamál (Beauty), 12 Mashíyyat (Will) 174 B.E. - Sunday, October 8, 2017

"O thou beloved of my heart!
Verily, my soul longs for thee, for the lamp of the love of Baha is lighted within thy heart and I love to look upon thy face, for it is glittering with the light of guidance among the creatures. Glory be to Him who hath united hearts together! Glory be to Him who hath brought the East and West under the shadow of the Blessed Tree, the root of which is firmly fixed in the earth and the branches of which reach unto the Supreme Concourse!"

‘Abdu’l-Bahá1

Lamp of Glory

On a planet overcast with hate,
the lamp of God's love and glory shines
revealing the depth of the darkness
against the brightness of the light.

Inch by inch,
foot by foot,
mile by mile,
the rays of the Lamp of Glory
penetrate the darkness
transforming
the hearts of those
who focus on the Lamp's light,
which is the Glory of God.
