Night

3 Ayyam-i-Ha 163 B.E. - Wednesday, February 28, 2007

Prayers ascend to the throne of God,
as the sleepless soul watches the stars.

The planet rotates toward dawn
a new day calls the lover’s soul
to arise and proclaim
to all humanity the Beloved’s name.

Meditation

12 Mulk 163 B.E. - Sunday, February 18, 2007

Morning echoes with God’s Most Great Name
Outside my window, the sun ignites the mountaintops and
Reflecting golden from snow capped peaks scatters
Night birds from their hunt.
I rise and step onto the cold tile floor,
Nourishing my soul with prayers
Glistening in the new days dawn.

Light

It rained last night,
angels transported drops to earth,
raindrops, sounding like sizzling bacon,
intoned their gratitude to God
as they struck the earth.

Raindrops sparkled
the street lights
as they watered the desert plants
and cause the black asphalt of Las Vegas streets
to glisten with joy.
