Neighborhood Noises on Saturday1

Song of a buzz saw
Reverberates through the neighborhood
Apartment remodeling

Jamál (Beauty), 6 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Sunday, April 14, 2019

Miracles2

Miracles are everywhere
just open your eyes
and you will see them.

Miracles
are in the shadow
of a palm tree,
in the dance of plasma
circling a black hole,
or in the song of a nightingale.

Kamál (Perfection), 7 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Monday, April 15, 2019

Motivational Monday: A Poem3

I awake,
stretch,
open the prayer app
on my smartphone,
and intone a morning prayer.

The words,
"I have awakened in Thy shelter,"
reverberate through my mind
motivating me
to begin
a new poem,
that will proclaim
Baha'u'llah.

Fiḍál (Grace), 8 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Tuesday, April 16, 2019

Robins Sing4

Listen to the Robins sing,
In the garden in the spring,
Listen to this beautiful sound,
As it echoes all around.

‘Idál (Justice), 9 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Wednesday, April 17, 2019

Evening Noises5

Spring break
and shouts of happiness
echo through the neighborhood:
No school until next Monday.

Istijlál (Majesty), 10 Jalál (Glory) 176 B.E. - Thursday, April 18, 2019

Thankful Thursday: A Prayer6

Dear Lord,
I thank you for this day
and for revealing to me The Bab
and Baha'u'llah.
