"It whispers to the flowers all, kissing the shining dew..."

Your Friday photo…

This lovely photo of a bee among the lilies at Meher Mount was taken by guest caretaker and photographer Juan Mendez. The poem is by Mani S. Irani, Avatar Meher Baba’s sister and close disciple.

“It whispers to the flowers all
Kissing the shining dew
Says words that every flower knows,
Oh Baba Loves me too. ”

— Mani S. Irani

Meher Baba’s Love

There dwells in a desolate countryside
On a far off lovely hill,
Its head turned up to the wide
Blue sky,
A yellow daffodil.

As it sways with joy in the gentle
Breeze.
It sings a song or two,
Which hold the sweetest words
On Earth.
Oh Baba, I, too, love you.

Around a pink rose in my garden
Hovers a bumble bee.
From rose to rose it dances wild in sheerest
Ecstasy.

It whispers to the flowers all
Kissing the shining dew
Says words that every flower knows,
Oh Baba Loves me too.

~Mani S. Irani
