What is Rain?

2b6beed8e61746af2e2905762b6239bf

What is rain but
Angels that fall from the sky?
Sacrificing themselves
To bring the world back to Life

Be an angel. Be the rain.
Be a human of service
The reason for scented flowers
In the soul of anothers’ life

Send them your prayers
Show them your love
It matters not if
It’s a simple smile or
A single hug

Don’t be afraid
Rain returns to its source
When you give to others
You end up
Helping yourself

…..

Dedicated to Belinda at http://busymindthinking.com/ for the idea and for being a source of scented flowers in many people’s lives.

Guiding Star

04b383831c5ffe327b62b20ab7752fa2

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

Do Not Forsake Me

40d3b39941bb67c82517c0dde2b85d73

My Beloved
I did not guard my heart
My desires have entered
They sit upon your throne

My Beloved,
They have taken control
Brought sadness and fear
I am human no more

My Beloved,
Breathe Life into me
Let the fire of your Love
Once again, clean out your home

My Beloved,
Come and take what’s yours
Turn me to nothing
Let me be consumed

My Beloved,
Do not forsake me
I surrender my life
So I may live in You

Grateful Ecstasy

Grateful
For precious Life
Every singing breath
Praising the One Beloved One
Thankful
For the sleeping beauty within
Awakened by the kiss
Of Spirit’s Light
Humbled
By the power of pouring Grace
Flooding worlds in mercy
Dancing in rain
Ecstatic

The Secret Soul

f23625c9aab63d67579b0ed271edcb84

What is the secret of a spark
That gives rise to a fire
Bearing flames in the air?

What is the secret of the seed
That makes the flower bloom
Laughing joy in the garden?

The secret of secrets is
Hidden in the hidden place
At the centre of being

When Spirit’s power
Strikes like lightning
Your secret soul comes alive

It dances the waltz of Life
On pillow clouds floating
In invisible skies

It hums the tune of Mercy
Raindrops pouring in
Fertile saint hearts

It begets the warmth of Peace
Born in the womb of faith
God’s shining mirror

It stands as one with the Truth
Sacred sword unleashed on
The fallen snake world

It speaks the language of Love
A hundred silent tongues in
Stillness between words

It lights faces with beauty
Reflecting the proof of
Pleased station souls

The secret of secrets is
Hidden in the hidden place
At the centre of being

When Spirit’s power
Strikes like lightning
Your secret soul comes alive

The Intoxication Began

7023895df0d53e7ebe49eede493644b5

The Alchemist transforms
days into sacred nights
When the world dies away
He brings you back to life
This is no time for sleep
Wake up! Wake up!
It’s the time of transformation
Time to be dissolved and built anew

Burn yourself a midnight candle
In the darkness
Feel the lightning surround you
Mercy is descending
to the lowest Heavens
Where the Beloved hears
the whispers of His lovers
Be still and listen!
You’ll hear the delicacy of blessings drop

Your heart beats with Remembrance of The Most Supreme!
Feel the warmth of love rushing through your soul
Without a doubt, angels flood your presence
The Light and Pure lay their wings at your feet
Blessed with glad tidings, deeds are recorded in gold

Your lungs breathe with remembrance of the The Most Gracious!
Fill your yourself up with His holy light
Let it overflow and emanate from your sides
Let the angels lift you up through the secret skies
Ascend through the heavens, Like the Prophet on that blessed night

Let go of time and travel beyond
Feel your soul intoxicated in love
You have reached his court
Settle, settle!
And feel your soul become a dervish

Love Knows

9c5c6239a0b8201d915f6f7e320162a4

Do you know of Love?
For Love knows of you
Every smile and every tear
Every thought and every breath

Love is so deeply in love
Yearning to be with you
She is patiently waiting
Eyes never waiver untrue

Oh what overwhelming beauty
Only seen in angels’ dreams
How come she sees Herself
When she looks at you?

Fall in love with Love’s perfection
She will fill that void
Pouring herself inside of you
Until she drips down your sides

She will never leave
Even if you cheat
Her mercy is so vast
It makes mockery of the seas

Love is always there
As long as you return
She knows your weaknesses
She is Love, She doesn’t care!

Turn to her
In your time of need
Let Love embrace you in her arms
Healing all things with a single touch

Then make love to Love
Alas, the two of you unite
Its impossible to describe
How in union, you are Love and she is You

Love is Life

882ab8a181fe2188102b64dca6719c19

The universe breathes the air of love,
And so it exists in dance and song,
The heavens beneath and those above,
The ecstatic rhythm beats so strong.

Cascading Melody of Cosmic Time,
Singing in the Vast Unknown,
Soothes my Soul with Melodious Rhyme
As Starlight Rains from Heaven’s Throne.

What else but Love could move such things,
The power of life, gentle and warm,
All of Nature and Heaven Rings,
Those who love fear not storms.

Yet Life may turn upon the Blade,
Dreams may unravel by ruse and guile,
Wandering Amidst the Masquerade,
My Love Seeks Yours to Rest and Smile.

Love, then, is Life and Life is Love,
When Abiding in Grace Above

Help the World

1d62f88638179798900261426bbf5f76

You cannot give what you do not have

Finding yourself is not ignoring the world

In reality, it’s the only way of helping all

When you uncover your essential self

You realize you are Love

and Love is you

In this state and only in this state

Will you bring help to a chaotic world

…….

This short piece was inspired by two of my favourite people. Line at http://pathsofthespirit.wordpress.com/ and Brad at http://writingtofreedom.wordpress.com/ A big thank you to them 🙂

Live Inside

large

Wheels are turning, mind is racing, i’m losing control

This world is full of fears, ups and downs, here and theres

filled with thoughts, so much pressure, eyes dripping tears

Gathering inside, a storm is slowly brewing

Dark clouds are forming, winds are blowing

I start to notice clear warning signs

It’s time to fly away and leave this world behind

I dive deep inside until only stillness remains

Keep going,I reach my safe haven of light

My Heart is paradise

Lush gardens, warms sun, dancing beeze

A river of life with no beginning or end

Mind thoughtless, desires gone

Only Being

This is living, this is loving, this is peace

This is my secret place of safe retreat

In this overwhelming world

I find peace inside
