19 Poems For Baha'u'llah

1
Baha'u'llah

Before I heard His wonderful name,
All life was an endless parlor game.
Hopelessnes was an every present friend,
Always suggesting a violent end.
'twas when I heard His glorious name,
Uniting all religions within God's plan,
'twas then I let faith's undying flame.
Life's no longer bogged in matter's mire,
Love has given it a new attire.
Accepting God's Prophet for today,
Has led my soul to God's narrow way.

2
Hearing His Name

In His name
I hear the echoes
of God's one billion names.

He Is

He is the splendor of the Lord of Host,
He is the glory of Christ returned.
He is the grandeur of the King of Kings,
He is the Buddha of Eternal Light,
He is the beauty of God manifested
         through the perfect human form.

God's Word

God's Word
Is the anchor
Which holds firm in rough seas
The guide to eternal life is
God's Word

His Teaching Reveal God

Amicus humani generis:
Lover of humanity,
friend of the Human race,
Protagonist of unity.

God Be With You

The light reflected
from the Mirror of God's Manifestation
Reverberates across the Earth,
and echoes from spirit to spirit
accelerating humanity's reconciliation.

My Best Friend

Baha'u'llah is my best friend
Is it any wonder I stand by Him?
My faith is based on God's revealed word;
Best source of world peace and unity.
Friend, do you comprehend.

Blessing of Baha'u'llah

The blessing of Baha'u'llah
Descend in torrents out of His Covenant!
Drop in deluges of power upon humanity,
Fall in showers of grace
Transforming the Earth into the Kingdom of God.

Through His blessings Baha'u'llah
Transmutes every situation into His favor.
For Baha'u'llah changing the world is child's play!

10
Kitab-i-Aqdas

Inscribed by the Pen of Glory,
the Motherbook
of God's new revelation.

It nurtures the faithful,
with the food
of the Tree of Life.

11
For Baha'u'llah

It seems so hard to live a Baha'i Life,
         In this da y and age.
But how much harder was it for the Babi's
         In years gone by.
We're not asked to die for our Faith,
         As were those gentle souls.
Instead we're ask to live each day
         For Baha'u'llah.

To live a Baha'i Life each day,
         To us may seem the greatest test.
It's through our deeds, more than our words,
         That we Teach to Ca use of Go d.
As we seek to Live the Life,
         A little easier it becomes,
Until we're living every hour
         For Baha'u'llah.

The Glory of the Most High.

He is the Unifier
of the Names of God,
the point of adoration.

Royal Falcon

God's Royal Falcon
Carries my soul to heaven
On certitude's wings

17
Illumination

Sun of wisdom that
Illuminates the passage
To eternal life

Guiding Light of God
Leads through satanic darkness
With the flame of love

18
Ocean of Knowledge

Ocean of Knowledge
That Give to humanity
The pearl of great price

19
God's Manifestation

Again God's Beauty appeared,
In the form of the perfect man,
Teaching us God's law.

He wrote words of eternal splendor,
Going beyond race or creed,
That speaks directly to the soul.

The Glory of God revealed,
New laws for modern man,
And ancient scriptures helped us understand.
