Istijlál (Majesty), 5 Sulṭán (Sovereignty), 170 BE - Wednesday, January 22, 2014 about 6:18 pm Pacific Standard Time
The sun has sit
behind the western peaks
and a new solar day
has begun.
The days are getting longer and the nights shorter. I seems like just a couple of days ago it got dark about 3:30 or 4:00 pm and now the sun is setting between 4:30 and 5:00 pm. If I go outside tonight, I'm not sure if I will see the stars with I look up or clouds. All day the clouds have moved across the sky above Las Vegas and I've felt chilly.
The nigh pass slowly,
I wonder what morning
will bring.
I'll be moving out of this house soon and into a studio apartment. I'm a bit nervous about the move and the location, but I don't plan to stay there more the twelve months. I'm hoping a senior apartment will open up and I'll be able to move in when the lease on the studio is up. In the mean time, my living quarters and my budget will be cramped.
The sun has sit,
dawn is several hours away
as I inhale the air
of a new solar day.

Another Solar Day is Done
10 Qawl 164 B.E. - Saturday, December 1, 2007 about 5:38 PM PST
Another solar day is done
the setting sun transformed the clouds
from white to fiery orange
which faded into starless night.
The chilled autumn day
became a damp fall night;
the days too short and the nights too long
are filled with prayers
and composing poems to the dawn.

Monday is Baha'u'llah's Birthday
6 Qudrat 164 B.E. - Friday, November 9, 2007
Monday is Baha'u'llah's Birthday. On Sunday evening after sunset a celebration of the event is planned for the Baha'i Center in Las Vegas. I'm not sure what is planned, but it ought to be fun. The celebration is held in the evening because the calendar followed by the Baha'is is a solar calendar. That means that the day begins at sunset on one day and ends at sunset on the next.
I've written a single stanza Octava Rima about commemorating Baha'u'llah's birth. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to add another stanza to it. I'd planned two stanza, but the second just wasn't working so I posted the first stanza in my port on writing.com. I'm in a poetry contest that gives forms of poems and then I write a poem following that form. The optional challenge was to take significant historical event and write about it.
The birth of Baha'u'llah was a significant historical even in my spiritual life and the spiritual life of many others across the planet. Baha'u'llah was born in the Persian province of Nur (light) at dawn on November 12, 1817.
