Today, I Wept

Today I Wept We interrupt this program With breaking news. Trump appears He signs an executive order Ending the practice of Separating children From their parents. I wept! In joy In relief In saddeness For the pain and suffering Already inflicted. Oh my sweet God, When will man’s inhumanity To man cease forever? My tears demand, When?

So Full of Myself

So Full of Myself. So full of myself i became, that i thought I could write a perfect poem with the help of my Muse, of course. My Muse just chuckled, as that poem disappeared in the stroke. Gone in the blink to the land of perfection. Some day, Shams will read that poem to you. © 2018. Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Walt Witman. A Poem by one of the greatest...

Come, said the muse. Sing me a song no poet has chanted. Sing me the universal. In this broad earth of ours, Amid the measureless grossness and the slag, Enclosed and safe within its central heart, Nestles the seed perfection. By every life a share or more or less None born but it is born -- concealed or unconcealed, the seed is waiting. "Song of the Universal" ~ Walt Whitman Sign in to see full entry.

We Shine the Light of God

We Shine the Light of God In the country, We witness the Glories of God. In the City, we shine The Light of God. Here in the city, I sit, a smile upon my forehead. Love cannot be mocked! And Truth always shines amidst the darkness of human fear. Shams has met His Lover, and she has devastated him completely. Now freed from care and strife, Shams has becomes Love's Whore. He gives love away to all and any Who ask. © 2018 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Silent Voice

Silent Voice It is unceasing, that silent voice. It is pure, that silent voice. It is true, that silent voice. It is Peaceful, that silent voice. It is Unifying, that silent voice. It is forgiving, that silent voice. It is life-giving, that silent voice. It is consistent, that silent voice. It is my guide, that silent voice. Whatever you may believe, It Is, that Silent Voice. 2018 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Morning cup of Jo

Morning cup of Jo Morning cup of Jo, and the birds announce the glory of this day. Have you given thanks? Shams can see God’s Beauty even before that first cup; before he is fully awake. A robin’s egg blue sky promises warmth and sunnyfun. Shams is thankful. Are you? ©. 2018. Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Make Hay while the Sun Shines Remember when we thought the sun was God? God returned to us daily then. We learned to count on it. Sun/God provided: Crops Warmth Light Well-being Faithfully, God returned. Unceasingly, God provided. God poured blessings upon The Good and Evil alike. Then, we grew in knowledge and God became our Mother/Father. Then God died, was buried, and ascended from the dead. Just to remind us, Christ has risen, He has risen indeed. © 2018 Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.

Remembering God

Remembering God Brother Lawrence made it popular, this remembering, this knowing Loving Presence. Shams longs to know God like that. To feel and know The One on every breath, and in so remembering, be blessed to abide in Love, harmony, and beauty. Already Shams forgot three times just writing this poem. Oh God, forgive me and help me to remember, and to Thy Grace, surrender. Ahhh, the sweet Presence of The Divine. ©. 2018. Shamsujim Sign in to see full entry.
