the One

by Shannondoah

divine 

Mother Father 

Creator 

rushes in,

river

like

flooding my

breath

when i pray

for you

every sense 

I have 

every cell,

all of spirit

tells me

you’re that one,

the one

all the stars

were singing

about it

telling me

stories

of my 

beloved

jewel

by Hafiz

Persia (Iran)

Wherever 

God lays His glance

life starts clapping.

The myriad

creatures grab their instruments

and join the song.

Whenever love makes itself known

against another

body.

The

jewel in the eye starts 

to

dance.

my heart opens

by Shannondoah

my heart opens

My heart 

     cracks open

like a dragon

     egg

never knowing

     how many doors

were closed

     and

how many windows

     were shut

My heart opens

     fully

     flooding me

with

     All There Is;

Love Divine

My heart opens

      wide and far,

beyond dimensions

      time and space

lighting it

      All Up

like a bright

      Star

My heart opens,

      Welcoming

me to my

      forever Home

and I witness

      my wings

Rise with

      glorious

evolution

      

To learn

by LALLA (India)

To learn the scriptures is easy,

to live them, hard.

The search for the Real

is no simple matter.

Deep in my looking,

the last words vanished.

Joyous and silent,

the waking that met me there.

miracle

by Shannondoah

I’d cross

every ocean

Follow every

star

Travel through

each galaxy

And ascend

every 

lifetime

for just

one

communion

with you

again

love 

has

no limit

love 

is

a miracle

reedsong

by Rumi

Persia (Afghanistan)

All day and night, music

a quiet, bright

reedsong. If it

fades, we fade.

silent heart

by Shannondoah

O great silent

heart

beloved love

we travel 

in the astral

planes

and sing

together at 

dawn and dusk

O great silent 

one

Great Mystery

beloved love

touch my hand

and 

see

my eyes

hear

my sound

feel

my embrace

loving you in 

all ways

always

we 

are 

connected
