Heavenly Dream

Well, I am not sure what has caused so many poems so quickly but here is another. It is about a dream that I had of Bahá'u'lláh, the Blessed Beauty. This was one of three dreams that I will be writing about here over the course of time that were at once, vivid, real and utterly special.

I believe the poem speaks for itselfe and needs no further explanation.

HEAVENLY DREAM

One night as I lay asleep
Amongst angels did I keep
A moment was soon to come
When my soul would stir
And overjoyed become

Entering our presence so full of light
Causing all to sparkle in delight
Glowing with such intensity
Entered the Blessed Beauty

Not face, nor other signs did I see
Only the knowledge and certainty
I knelt before him as he came close
Bowing my head in remorse

“Impure thoughts” said I to Him
“Its OK”, He answered me
Fear long held,
Replaced by glee

One last thought as I bowed down low
Please, oh please, before You go
Show me in some special way
That this be more than a dream today

My eyes still closed
My breath still
I waited with patience, until
I felt His hand upon my head
Waking up startled
Upright in my bed

The feeling that had come to me
Is knowing with a certainty
That this was no normal dream
It was more than it did seem
For I do know
And He did show
That some dreams are more
The wandering of our souls
As they doth soar
