The Blank White Page

The Blank White Page In this blank white page, I dissolve my rage in forgiving's Holy Fire. Ya Gafar Then, Ya Gafur This cloud above the fray. Hate is fear Love,... compassion drawing near. Bismillah, I start, anew in innocence and honor's truth, bequeathed to all and each. I kiss the ground as all draw near to shed their lives of fear. Sign in to see full entry.

Precious Moments

These Moments Are Too Precious These moments are too precious to waste in unspoken, broken expectations. Your soul is disappointed that you would think so small. So is mine. Shams only knows this love he has for you. All else is just a broken dream. My apology is constant, given already for every disappointment I might ever trigger in you. My love is ever present rising above every hurt, I or you, might ever create. My sadness is this: That having pledged to one another, we could waste even one... Sign in to see full entry.

Silence

Be with people in silence; don't spend precious time and energy in idle talk. Eat in silence; work in silence. God loves silence. - Paramahansa Yogananda, `Spiritual Diary' Silence Shams can no longer speak; mutes are needed for this day. Silence is the sound of the hollow reed before the flute is played. All the melodies of all the songs live first, in that silent womb. Shams is content to sing a wordless note plucked in Love from silent longing's hand. Rejoice in the wordless symphony that...

The Blessing Way

The Blessing Way I knew from early on that there is a Blessing Way. As I grew there were even times given to walk it. But never until you returned to walk a path beside me, did I know and discover the height and depth of this Blessing Way. © 2008 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

No Secret

Between husband and wife there should be no secrets from one another. I have a very high opinion of the marriage tie. I hold that husband and wife merge in each other. They are one in two or two in one. -Mahatma Gandhi, 1940 No Secret It is no secret this Love between us; Our One Intention dissolves the illusion of privacy. I am no Saint, that you should honor me; Your honor makes me want to be a better man. My heart sings and dances in your presence. As we dance together all secrets disappear...

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. Often, the silence terrorizes; And we drown it in our vain stories. Estaughforallah! Breathe in... Sign in to see full entry.

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 Sign in to see full entry.

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 Sign in to see full entry.
