I am locked in a prison cell
And in the desperate depths of its darkness
I am slowly breaking down
Dying, until there is nothing more
Thank you !
It is from the fire of nothingness
That beautiful souls are forged
Souls that beget light upon light
A light that spreads through the worlds
How do I endure this journey?
The journey of dying to be born
With patience and surrender.
Patience and surrender.
It is time now
I open up my hands
and simply place my life into Yours
I don’t want a penny for your thoughts
A single cent is worth more than that
How cheap are words we speak
We crawl in dirt and talk of skies
I’m lost in a world
My mouth opens not
Still I sing this song
It’s Love that makes me move
Inside we are one
Come and join me here
In this house of God
We dance through the night
Sipping Truth from Beauty’s cup
Nothing else will suffice
The words that you hear
Will fall at your feet
And crumble into dust
Its time for the journey within
It calls but you’ve placed it on hold
Dazed by the glitter of this world
Forgetful of where you came from
Throw your excuses to the sky
Its time for the journey within
Kick open all your prison doors
Freedom waits on the other side
Let your desires and mind sleep
Surrender yourself to the One
Its time for the journey within
A world of treasures awaits you
Become one with the Peace you crave
Become one with the Light you are
Become the Love that gave you birth
Its time for the journey within

Your heart is speaking
Do you hear it calling?
Whispering softly:
‘Don’t lose yourself in this world
Always Remember
You are an eternal soul
Forged from a most sacred light
Never forget that
You’ve been born with wings to fly
Let the winds of Grace take you
Deep within your hallowed self
And up through celestial skies’
There was an enormous tree
In the middle of a field
Bearing a single fruit
Glowing like precious gold
Word spread and people came
They jumped all day
Exhausted
They decided to return home
But since that day
They couldn’t forget
The beauty of the glowing fruit
And all else just seemed crude
And so they gathered again
And decided to build a ladder
But every time they climbed
The tree simply grew higher and higher
In frustration they exclaimed
That this fruit
This spell-binding precious fruit
Was impossible for any man to attain
But one man
Sat under the tree
Continuously muttering
‘Good things come to those who wait..Good things…’
Lo and behold
When the time was right
The golden fruit fell from the tree
And disappeared into the man’s heart
Be patient for not all things can be plucked

Forgive me dear friends
On the journey from heart to mouth
All words are lost
How can I describe THIS?
By why describe THIS?
Let us not talk of taste
Come. Come.
It is time for us to drink
On those days
When my soul comes to life
It becomes the Garden in which I walk
Embraced by the warmth of the sun
Receiving, the cool breeze flows through me
This is my paradise
Where beauty surrounds me and gratitude fills me
This is Paradise
I am Love and Love is me – How Lovely
There is no need to understand
All is known
With a single sip
Of Reality
What a brilliant mind
I loved to debate
Reason impeccable
Nothing escaped
People would come
Seeking an answer
I would oblige
Heart filled with pride
Yet I struggled
With pain unbearable
Thoughts inescapable
I begged for help
Brought before the One
I was told to surrender
So that I may be shown
The light of my being
My mind said:
How could you have what you don’t already know?
Love answered:
Be silent so you may experience the Truth
In my quiet
I was moved deep within
A world full of treasures
Love, Peace and Truth
Everyday I’m shown some more
When reason objects
I laugh
My heart knows what’s true
And since that day
All has changed
Now, when they ask
I answer:
Surrender is all I know
Hello my dear friends,
Im happy and grateful to announce the publication of my new book ‘Finally Back Home’. It is available on Amazon in both paperback and ebook form at the following link:
A percentage of the proceeds will go to charity so you will be helping a fellow indie writer and the world at the same time 🙂
Also, part of the reason I write is to try and bring comfort to people and inspire them to reach their higher selves. If you feel anyone would benefit from my book I shamelessly ask for a reblog. It would be greatly appreciated!
I would like to thank all of you. It is your constant presence and encouragement here that led to the publication of ‘Finally Back Home.’ In particular, I would like to thank Laura at http://arkofidentity.wordpress.com/ without whom this book would have never come into fruition
As always, Sending my love and prayers to you all!!
Irfaan ‘Ihsan’ Jaffer
What is this world?
A whisper in an open meadow
Alive for a moment
Disappearing into air
What are you?
A ray that emanates
From an eternal Light
Born of a fire
That needs no oil or wood
Listen my child
All thats happened
Is but a gentle reminder
That you were made to
Surrender in patient faith
Tilt your face
To the place of prayer
And give yourself up
In both
Humility and trust
Do this.
Unveil the guiding star
On this journey you walk
So when the darkness comes
You’ll see the light
And know the way
