Vain Talk
And when they hear vain talk, they turn away therefrom and say: "To us our deeds, and to you yours; peace be to you: we seek not the ignorant." -Qur'an, Al-Qasas, Surah 28:55 Vain Talk Shams laughs in holy amazement. Why do we share such things? Is it Love or our holy fear? The stories we tell; The vain wanderings of our dramas; These edify what? Shams breathes in holy awareness. We so, long for love.

The Soot of My Dilemma
The Soot of My Dilemma The soot of my dilemma clung to my heart like a fresh coat of anodized fear. Remembrance came hard until you reappeared to remind me. Like a fresh wind You blew away the chaff; the rust fell like old dust I could see the Son. Shams is blissed beyond all measure! © 2008 Shams

Universal Self
Universal Self I am consciousness aware of my unconsciousness. I am the dance of body, heart, and soul; Spirit and Nature Dancing Together. I am the joy of breath in awareness; Nature and Spirit Merging in The One. I am the Hope of Life in the Eternal; The dance, always dancing; The song, always sung. I am the knowing that only Silence holds; Shams dare say No more! © 2008 Shamsuddin

I Lit the Incense
I Lit the Incense I lit the incense, your gift to me, beginning morning prayers. I sought for patience, amidst your fears, that Wisdom might prevail. I wondered how you chose fear over Love and why; Knowing you walk a Perfect Path. I lit a candle to our blessing, and focused on the breath. “ Suban Allah” Shams blessed the world in death. Shams hold us in Suban Qalbi where fear dissolves in Love. May all our choices false and true bring total, highest blessing. © 2008 Shamsuddin

You Arose in My Heart
You Arose in My Heart In this moment, You arose in my heart. My loving attention blessed us both. I took a breath, turning inward. Mind quiet, You fill me with deep, silent, Peace. Life took a sharp turn for the better, when we said, "Yes!" … again. © 2008 Shams-i-Heartsong
