Feast of Asma' (Names)

Feast of Names

A crystal blooms
in God's ocean of love,
its nine perfect leaves
reflect divinity,
while its nineteen petals
echo the names of God.

Rainbows of light
converge in unity,
showing divine might
upon humanity.

Clouds of mercy
conceal the Almighty,
while rays of glory
reveal God's chosen one.

Perfection's voice
questions dogmatic faith,
and sovereignty's speech
echoes spirituality.

Splendor's shadow
falls over humanity,
revealing the beauty
of divinity.

Grandeur echoes
the Holy Spirit's words
revealed through
God's latest Manifestation,
who focuses divine knowledge
upon humanity.

God's dominion
is the city
of the human heart.

Obedience to God's will
is the power,
the honor,
and the loftiness
of the believer.

Poet's Note: ▼

I wrote this in 148 B.E. It was inspired by a the Feast of Asmá’ (Names), I attended on the evening of August 19. This poem mentions the names of the other Feasts. I did a bit of rearranging and editing lines when I transcribed this poem into this book.
