Me and my absent client

Eight-thirty-two am

Orange candles and I

Wait within

My client’s absence.





Such expressed need last week

Have passed upon

More rivers of life experience

Hopefully.





I hold him, his essence

In my heart.





May he be well

May he be safe

May he be protected

May he be at peace.





Nine-oh-four am

Distant

Insistent city sirens

Crash into my absent clients time





and





The driver

The paramedic

The one in crisis

Their family and friends

Enter our session.





So many opportunities

To breathe in Amaan

To breathe out Light.





Nine-thirty am

My absent client

Parts from my heart

Payment due





My candle still burning

This city still turning





and





I sit still and wait.

Amaan: A call for refuge and peacefulness within Ultimate Love

And I whisper softly

And I whisper softly

You’re welcome

Breathe lightly to transform please

This human heart flesh, breath and bone

Show me a way beyond whats my way

And within these times unfold

Fresh pathways through lifes mysteries

And guide this spirit home

Yahweh come.





For I am scrolling more, engaging less

Consuming by the score

While refusing to digest,

I see anothers flaws

And ignore the consequences of my choices





You’re welcome

Roll back my stone

Remake a home within me

Yahweh come

Whisper again

On winds of change restore me





For I whisper softly you’re welcome

Upon wings of change restore me

As inch by inch I move along

Sweet Love please rush towards me.

And within Your grace unfurl

Fresh pathways through lifes mysteries

And guide this spirit home

Yahweh come.





The more harm I do, the less calm I get

Wading through life’s courses

Immersed in living, I forget

How deep and wide your voice is.





You’re welcome

Make me your song

Refresh and breathe within me

Yahweh come

Make me your home

With love filled hope complete me

My livin'
Forgiven
Yahweh come.

Unbidden
Unhidden
Yahweh has come

Before I whisper softly,

Yahweh comes.

My very first day of covid, the battle is won!

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.
