Every being is a symbol

Ah, true, sleepless one,  
I will ever write;  
it is only a question,  
should ears hear?  
or the river Tigris  
swallow the black tears  
that runs in drops of ink  
along these pages...

Perhaps I feel echoes  
of that joy Bahá'u'lláh  
had known  
writing for His heart's Revelation  
but knowing none could hear.

I possess no capacities as such  
yet every being  
is a symbol created  
by the accents of His voice.
