In Your Absence

In Your Absence We are separated by the time of space. The ache of that distance cannot touch me. It is a small thing when I realize the Journey Toward Perfection continues, unabated. I continue to live each moment fully, knowing that each opens to each Until the moment when shared presence is ours. Your voice across the miracle of an ocean of electromagnetic waves blesses me with your heart-thought. We are one in the Unity of this Love. Each moment the choice presents itself again. Each moment... Sign in to see full entry.

Hearken to the Reed Forlorn

H earken to the R eed F orlorn Hearken to the Reed forlorn, Ever since it was torn From the rushy bed of Reeds; In plaintiff song it bleeds. Listen to The Lover's Heart Longing for Its Sacred Home. How it wails and cries and sings. Oh, Beloved, hum my part. That I might sing along. This Longing laughs at Life's success. There is nothing, nothing, nothing; Only You, Beloved. I will sing until you come. © 2007 Shams-i- Sign in to see full entry.

On the Breath, Flys Freedom

On the Breath, Flys Freedom On each breath, flys freedom’s joy. The Choice Floats on silent currents of Divine Light. Love or fear; deeds hidden in the dark Or deeds of light and fine report? On each breath Surrender To the Guiding Light Within the Heart; The Truth writ large In stillness’ silence; The Unity which gently binds Us In Unlikely Oneness born of Love. Jesus made the sacrifice Just so none need bleed for feed. Salvation’s done, Glory’s arrived, So Dance for your Dinner; Sing for your... Sign in to see full entry.

How Sad to Hear

How Sad to Hear How sad to hear You respond to fear Cutting off communication. I am still a simple soul Trying to grow in Love & Faith And Goodness. You are too: Shams trusts you To return. Unburdened of that fear Ready to unlearn All false definitions Of Love. Before you ran from me I asked for one kiss; You gave me six. Now the student Has become the teacher. © 2007 Noosphere Communications Sign in to see full entry.

Monkey Grasping Moon's Reflection

Sitting peacefully on a cushion day and night seeking to attain Buddhahood, rejecting life and death in hopes of realizing enlightenment, is all like a monkey grasping at the moon reflected in the water. -Shoitsu From "The Pocket Zen Reader," edited by Thomas Cleary, 1999. Reprinted by arrangement with Shambhala Publications, Boston, www.shambhala.com. Monkey Grasping Moon's Reflection Oh do not go to falsehood's temple To find your way to Truth.

Insecurity

Give your life for that cup of divine wisdom. How can you succeed without endurance and patience? To wait for the sake of that cup is no hardship. Show patience, for patience is the key to joy. -Rumi, "Mathnawi" From "The Bounty of Allah," translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed. Copyright 1999. All rights reserved. Used with permission of The Crossroad Publishing Company, New York Insecurity It was just insecurity That kept us apart, divided; Only fear, in one of its cloaking devices, Ruling the...

Sabbath Moments

The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space...on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time....Eternity utters a day. - Abraham Joshua Heschel, "The Sabbath" Sabbath Moments The past is dead and gone. The future never shall be. The present is the only moment In which we can be free. Shams seeks The Sabbath of the Heart: Each moment spent with you. Beloved, leave Shams not Unconscious and alone. But rather come dine with him; Make his Soul Your Home. © 2008... Sign in to see full entry.

A Hurting, Lonely Night

A Hurting, Lonely Night The words were sharp, The tone, intense, The message was unclear. It left me hurting And reverting To painful moments, past. The waiting dragged, The pain grew more intense, I feared to call you back. “ Am I to be an irritant, Bothering your life? Do I really add no meaning, But, rather just add strife?” I'm confused, I feel abused, Still, I seek the light. And is just because I love you, This time, there is no fight. © 2008 Shams Sign in to see full entry.

Now, You Never Have to Worry

Now, You Never Have to Worry Worry always was a choice, Giving fear its only voice. Sing your Love; Sing your Life; Sing as the Dove; Sing to end All fear-filled strife. The time of worry is over; The time of worry is done. Gratitude has captured your heart; Thankfulness must be sung. © 2008 Shams-i-Heartsong Sign in to see full entry.

Let Me Drink Deeply

Let Me Drink Deeply Oh, Sweet Beloved One, Let me drink deeply Your Presence in this wine. Your breasts do give me suckle; Your lips are soft and fine. Oh, Holy, Precious Sister, Sweet Goddess of The Day Cuddle gently with me now That soaring Hearts may play. The dance we do is sacred, The obligation: Love. The Grace to dance together Is from the One above. Come with me, my butterfly, Your Heart has wings To rise above Upon this breath. From high aloft You'll see with me All life; There is no...
