In my despair you share
Great lessons in lessening light
When worry is all that i do
You empty Your Love
So to fill my soul full
That i may have eyes behind eyes i pray
That the womb of my heart
hears You clearly say.
I AM
Beloved
I AM
Word
I AM
Love lightly
spinning this world
Forest filled Breezes
Feathering Breath
I AM
sweetening Promise
Delight-full darkness.
From Hazarat Inayat Khan’s The Dance of the Soul (part of Ragas, pa147):
Let Thy wish become my desire
Let Thy will become my deed
Let Thy word become my speech, Beloved
And Thy love become my creed
Let my plant bring forth Thy flowers
Let my fruits produce Thy seed
Let my heart become Thy lute, Beloved
And my body Thy flute of reed.
and my ditty after this:
The battle is done
my heart is won
My Beloved and I
Sway as one
The battle is done
My heart is won
May my Beloved and I
Breathe as one.
formless beyond description
arisen upon descent
saving all-told from destruction
a presence that Perfection sent.

spreading laced veils before us
we smile and cry through our strife
mourning, while weal’s keep on turning
salt weaving the woundings of life.
.
.
borne high we stoop low for a season
to carry the wrong with the right
we weigh every load upon reason
just like beasts in the burden of night.
.
.
yet spirits smile silent upon us
sweet fragrances sent in the sky
even tides sway to know moonlight
ravines weep down steep mountainside.
.

eagles charm Light with their feathering
angel wings balm every soar
Love reigns to sooth with Her weathering
Life water flows deep in our core.
I am currently on a song writing course,
here’s this weeks offering
Verse 1
Near to The One are we that mourn
While hungering for Life re-born
Renewal comes to aching hearts
Who warm in Love while pulled apart
For everyone becomes in me
The thoughts I offer them to be
If I am stone I feel no pain
But am denuded just the same
Chorus:
And now beyond the fear, receive both loud and clear:
Blessings from you, Blessings from me
Joining anew with Loves unity
Goodness becoming, Goodness refreshing
These Blessings on Blessings, on Blessings, on Blessings
Verse 2
To shrink our ego’s near to nought
Intention needs to follow thought
When silence in our hearts take root
We blossom into ripened fruit
When with the loveless we consort
Good News breaks through to now report
Our suffering’s washing out again
As Blessings come from sun and rain.
Chorus:
And now let us rejoice, by lifting-up our voice:
Blessings from you, Blessings from me
Joining anew with Loves unity
Goodness becoming, Goodness refreshing
These Blessings on Blessings, on Blessings, on Blessings
Bridge:
Within this moment and this breath
Pause to re-remember that we are Blessed.
Verse 3
How fluidly for friends and foe
Do blessings from peacemaker’s flow
They float on Oceans unity
Make Graceful waves while all at sea
Immersed within the merciful
Awashed with Love for one and all
These beautiful forgiving ones
Bring buoyancy to living stones.
