Blessing

Blessing To be a blessing Is the highest Blessing. Sometimes to be a Blessing We must ask for a blessing. The very nature of Blessing Requires that a balance be maintained Between giving blessings And Receiving blessings. The Universe has infinite Blessings At its fingertips. To know this, Is to tweak the Finger of Love. © 2007 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

My Universe Is Skewing Right

My Universe Is Skewing Right We shall not see eye to eye, For my Universe is Skewed right. Right is Light, And Light Casts Out All the Dark. We need not see eye to eye Light is as naught Without the Dark. And skewed Left Works well for me. Sweet Jesus! … You are welcome here! For I am giving Up All fear. Well then, let us walk together for awhile Reveling in the awesome beauty of the creation. Let us dance a bit for the happiness of all Beings As together we share our Art. Awesome, sweet fellow...

Easter Blessing

Easter Blessing The Day began like every other day With the rising of the sun. It is the earth that we crucify, Yet, still she awakens each day To bless all with her abundance. Which of Us would deny this Daily resurrection? Or our daily crucifixion, Our matricide. Awaken sweet sister; Arise brave brother. Our Mother calls us to Truth: Learn harmony or perish! The choir calls each, “Sing your note proud and clear. No longer listen to the call of fear. The time is now; the place is here The... Sign in to see full entry.

Let the Wind Blow Hard

Let the Wind Blow Hard “Let the wind blow hard, I don’t mind.” [1] My breath, the wind I follow. It leads me gently And softly, inside. On the Altar of my Heart, I place my pain, A healing sacrifice. Blinded by the burning light Of pain’s incineration, I am born anew! © 2007 Shamsuddin [1] From A song by Yusuf Mohammed (Cat Stevens) Sign in to see full entry.

The Key Is Concentration

The Key Is Concentration You are finally old enough To learn Life's Success secrets. Take a full breath. Suspend all judgment For three minutes. Closing your eyes, Picture a blank blackboard. Draw a circle. Fill it with your favorite color. Hold this image In your mind's eye For three minutes. Take two deep breaths. Open your eyes. Can you still see Your sacred circle In your mind's eye? Now sing your name, Quietly, at first. Now again, with Heart. Once more, with gusto. Now dedicate your... Sign in to see full entry.

When Hope Is Far Away

When Hope Is Far Away When hope is far away, And darkness rules the day, When all is dull and grey, Turn within and pray. When life is barely hanging on, When beauty is an empty song, When you are so tired You feel no right and no wrong. The light is absent, the love is gone. Look in, rejoice and do not tarry. You are prefect, All is well Your heart just needed This crippling hell. It is the cracks in broken hearts, That allows The Love To Shine through. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Naked, Next to You

Naked, Next to You To lie naked next to you Is my heart’s desire To share in silence sacred breath There is nothing higher. You are the goddess in my life. I will serve you well. In life, I dance. In death I fly. In hope I lie with you. So, lie with me In sweet desire Of Hearts requiring Union. Life is much to short To miss this blessed reunion. © 2007 Shamsuddin Sign in to see full entry.

There Is One Spirit

There Is One Spirit There is One Spirit, One Being-ness That unites all Form. Because It Is, We Are! Let go, this puny self That must separate to survive; Must stand over against all Other. Your fear of annihilation Protects only the false And non existent. In utter stillness You can remerge. Do not be fooled By fabled remedies, The tales of old wives. Do not succumb to fear’s story. Rather, turn toward The Light. Then, be your own playwright,Director, and Cast. For this moment Comes only once... Sign in to see full entry.

In the Day’s Dawning Hour

In the Day’s Dawning Hour In the day’s dawning hour, In the time of the darkest hour Just before dawn’s emerging; In that one darkest instant The light begins to have its way. Birds have long announced this sacred moment When the promise of IS Makes mere shadows of what is not. © 2007 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Words: Mere Shadows

Words: Mere Shadows Words: mere shadows Of What Is. I will never say, Nor can I; I shall never try To be the truth-teller; Not with these frail words. Shams picks up this pen Just to bid you, "Dive in!!!" © 2007 shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

I Love the Shape of Woman

I Love the Shape of Woman I love the shape of woman, The hills, the curves, the valleys; The softness of her breasts. I love the mysterious caverns The caves of warm, wet love Truly God has sent her From realms of light above. I love the shapes of feet, Of thighs and hips and lips. To join with her in gentleness Removing petticoats and slips. I love her sweet aroma Her skin so soft to touch. I revel in her open arms Her eager cheeks, I clutch. I love the contemplation Of when we are together.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Coffee Flows Freely

The Coffee Flows Freely The Coffee flows freely in my life Spiced with tobacco prayers. A new day begins. I look around I fill my lungs With prana... life For every cell. A day begins anew. I fill my head with fleeting worries. I fill my heart with bonds of love. A peaceful day begins. I fill my ears with songs and music My feet respond with dance. This day begins to move. I focus now The goals emerge so clear. I surrender to the moment. This day begins anew. I now remember days now past That... Sign in to see full entry.
