Cat Shit

Cat Shit Concupiscence A Moral Dilemma Cats learn early To cover up their 'business'. Leaving humans to think Of more important matters Than cleaning up cat shit. But, the day inevitably arrives, When Miss Feline discovers Your houseplants. You need not be surprised That soil is more attractive Than granulated deodorant. Smell a sample of each For yourself. Soil is rich with life; The granules are sterile, perfumed, lifeless. Cats are not dumb: They are organic. Dedicated to renewing with fresh... Sign in to see full entry.

Peace is Power 2

With blessings of light, of hope, of peace, of spirit--we bring not might, not power, but the Breath of Life. - Rabbi Arthur Waskow “ Peace is Power” Samuel Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti) We have forgotten; We have lost sight; The goal Is Life, Remember? Fear is not the goal: War is not Life; Oil is not the goal: Horizontal Movement is not Life; Protection of Us is not the goal: Separation is not Life; Feeding the hungry is Life; Saving the Earth is Life; Sharing all wealth is Life; Praying is...

A Seed of God Grows into God

A Seed of God Grows into God To everyone of us there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than the surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite. -Sai Baba Just a twinkle from your eyes, But, it contained a light, Royal and profound. You must stop hiding soon. Shams sees through Your feigned confusion. Find the place inside you That is God! Then every breath will be transformed.... Sign in to see full entry.

This Breath, Door of my Heart,

This Breath, Door of my Heart, Open wide, I keep for Thee. There will be no more breaths All too soon And I shall, On that last one, Come to Thee, My Beloved One. My Urs is Thine, To schedule, Sweet, among my days. For now, lead me to live Thy Fullness this day That at last, I shall have no regrets To leave this shell To freely fly again. Truly, this wedding is bliss Beyond comparison's knowing. Truly, weep not, for Shams; He is walking with The Beloved One. © 2007 Noosphere Communications... Sign in to see full entry.

A Rumi Poem

I swallowed some of the Beloved's sweet wine, and now I am ill. My body aches, my fever is high. They called in the Doctor and he said, drink this tea! Ok, time to drink this tea. Take these pills! Ok, time to take these pills. The Doctor said, get rid of the sweet wine of his lips! Ok, time to get rid of the doctor. - Rumi Sign in to see full entry.

The Silence Between All

The Silence Between All The Silence Between all Is What I seek. Do not fill this diminishing space Between Us, With Words. As light fills the darkness So silence fills all sound. Dwell here, Beloved, With Me. Disclose The Word hidden, like a pearl, In a shell of silence. Open the ears of my Heart, Lord; Open the Eyes of Thy Vision. In a world of manufactured dreams And Hollywood Hype. Where the false appears real: Fear is born. Find, oh find, The Word of Might Fear must fade, Within this Light.... Sign in to see full entry.

What a Good Person

“ When you purify your hearts just as you purify your raiment, union with God will follow. You cannot become a Sufi by merely wearing coarse woolen shirts and following strict ritual, pretending to be pious while inside your hearts you bear malice and avarice. A real Sufi has attained a state of perfection on the inside. If you sincerely seek u nion with God, then seek Him inside your hearts and leave the world alone.” -Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani, “Fayuz E Yazdani” What a Good Person What a good...

Better in the Morning

Better in the Morning I'll be better in the morning, dear. Tonight, The Beloved and Shams Shall discuss these weighty matters Between us. Soon, the Sun shall share Her exquisite warmth. As Earth turns to face the light again. Good morning, sweet beloved The Glories of Love lead and, then, Fade to misty joy. Love has triumphed, Once again, over fear. Shams feels better.

Life Is Good, Where Are You?

Life Is Good, Where Are You? Life is good, getting better. Where are you? I want to share. My heart remains open wide For You! I long to soon share giggles again. One day at a time, I await your return. Leave the land of fear! Return to me soon! I long for the warmth of your breasts Pressed against mine. Surely, you miss my warm embrace. We will walk together again soon. Return to your inner light, Beloved. Feel the deep Peace and Joy. Turn and face the sun. Your time of fear's night Is over!... Sign in to see full entry.

The Softness of Your Love

The Softness of Your Love I loved you once intensely; Until my heart was broken on the rock Of your moving on. Now, we love in a softer light. With love born of Creator's might. “ Oh how good, And oh, how pleasant It is For Brothers and Sisters To dwell as One.” We are walking side by side; Our hearts, attuned, Open wide. Toward the One, United with All. We face the same direction. On a path, devoid of wrath, We live our resurrection. © 2007 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

I Fall At Your Feet

I Fall At Your Feet I fall at Your Feet, My Sweet Lord. Your Love is beyond All knowing, Beloved. Some many forms to clothe Yourself, Beloved. I am intoxicated by their Beauty. Release me from this chain Of Word, Form, and Content. Silence reigns! © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Waiting For You, Beloved

Waiting For You, Beloved I am waiting for you, Beloved; Remembering your laughter helps. I am longing for you, Beloved; Recreating the beauty of your smile. I am seeing you in Divine Light, Beloved; The Angels will lead you home, Where the warm fire of peace, Gently burns. I am letting go, Beloved; Hoping you will return to me in joy. I hurt, but shall not suffer, Beloved; So grow in your own way. Grief is silent. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.
