Poem: This is Faith

To walk where there is no path
To breathe where there is no air
To see where there is no light —
This is Faith.

To cry out in the silence,
The silence of night,
And hearing no echo believe
And believe again and again —
This is Faith.

To hold pebbles and see jewels
To raise sticks and see forests
To smile with weepings eyes —
This is Faith.

To say: “God, I believe” when others deny,
“I hear” when there is no answer,
“I see” though naught is seen —
This is Faith.

And the fierce love in the heart,
The savage love that cries
Hidden Thou art yet there!
Veil Thy face and mute Thy tongue
Yet I see and hear Thee, Love,
Beat me down to the bare earth,
Yet I rise and love Thee, Love!
This is Faith.

– Amatu’l-Bahá Rúḥíyyih Khánum, 1953
