At The Break Of Every Morn

This Well

Vahid — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 22:37:01 +0000

This well that is mine to dig in this dry land

That my tears may flow and fill that hole

That the earth may hold the salt but no more

That the earth pour forth the sweet and more

O the taste of it

Where is that lover

Who knows of it

By God

Vahid — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 19:04:03 +0000

By God

Look at the accomplishment

The sea is welling

The rivers are branching

The streams are gushing

By God

Look at the achievement

The banks are green

The trees are lean

The fruits are seen

By God our Lord

Now onward to the deserts

And If We Were

Vahid — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 19:29:31 +0000

And if we were to heal our wounds

In the depths of shadows

And in there attempt to reclaim our happiness

Then all the delights promised those

That dwell in true sorrow

Shall pass us by and leave our souls in heedlessness

So It Came

Vahid — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 22:44:09 +0000

So it came to pass that the Sun of Truth

Shed its light upon the moon of falsehood

That the darkness of the night

Was shattered to a thousand pieces of light

Revealing a brand new day!

A marvelous brand new day!

We Talked

Vahid — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 19:39:14 +0000

We talked about love

And how it was unfortunate

That the river should flow

But the sea reject it

But what love is that

That its own kin be a reject?

If not one blinded by its own greatness

And forgetful of the source of its vastness

That At The

Vahid — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:30:51 +0000

That at the twin hours of the birds

I not be left the last to raise Thy melody

That the celestial dove descend unto me

That the celestial dove ascend unto Thee

A carrier and offerer of praise from me

At the twin hours of the birds

And It is

Vahid — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 19:26:08 +0000

And it is a cobweb

That stitches together the eyelash

That fools one dead

And lures the spirit to unleash

“O my Lord

I declare my powerlessness

And love to beg of Thee

All that is with Thee

That I may manifest Thy power and Thy might”

That I retrieve my spirit unleashed

And may fool the dead

That Thy Hand unstitch my eyelash

And wipe off the cobweb

And A Fountain

Vahid — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 19:51:46 +0000

And a fountain is gushing forth for them from the earth

And in abundance are rivers springing forth in the garden amidst palm trees and vines

And the heaven has fallen down upon them in pieces

God and the angels have vouched

“Here is a golden house”

And in the book that has been sent down for them to read

There in can the children take knowledge of the great ascension

And they will believe and testify with one voice

“God is here! God is here! God is here”

Make Of Me

Vahid — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:47:47 +0000

Make of me a sifter of wheat

O my Lord

And descend upon me Thy angels

Whom Thou ordain to descend upon the unclean

That my soul may ascend unto Thee

Purified and sanctified of all things
