"lighten and uplift
them, so that they may soar on the wings of the Divine verses"
-Baha'u'llah

The
scholar had found the Promised Qa’im
His heart was pure, his question unasked.
Though beyond the powers of renowned Kazim
Ali, with charm and vigor, performed the task.
Enraptured he
sits as the verses are cast
As a mighty sower fills a field with seed.
Can Husayn see the winter finally past?
Or imagine a harvest satisfying every need?
First to the
Gate, he is ready to lead
To his hearts desire, a disheveled youth,
Agitated, impatient, unwilling to heed
A call to rest, here, before the Sun of Truth.
How can you
bid my heart to wait?
‘I can recognize Him by His gait.’ |
