What is the majestic radiance
in your deepest self
the radiance that shines out
from the mystical light infused..
in all the world…….
the glory that inspires ..
conceives…
ignites and creates life
where there was nothing..
that which invades the darkness
the glow that brings beauty to the void
the flow that calls us into being
what is the radiance
that brings shepherds and kings
to their knees.
illuminates the skies………….
gazes through our eyes……
brings light and color and new life
to the catacombs
what glorious light summons
compassion for the afflicted ones
kisses wounded souls
soothes frightened minds
softens the hardened hearts
and restores and renews
the lost and the lonely ones…
millions of stories have been told
imagining endless forms
and names and explanations..
creating illusions and answers
for the mystery of light and the glory
of love that created life…
the deepest wisdom kneels and weeps
before that which awakens us
from ignorance
forgives those who steal
from heaven…
cradles us in beauty
and hold us in eternal arms
of tenderness and love….
we melt in gratitude and innocence
touched by the light
of belovedness
whirling us into being
graciously
sharing the pure spring
and the intimacy
of the sweet breath
of life itself………

Beloved God…my Love….my Life….my Existence

Oh God……….my Beloved
now and through all time
beyond measuring
You are my nearness
the breath of my very life
flowing through this existence
streaming in beauty
shining out in sacredness
in the quivering light
of raindrops
dancing in the ripples
flowing in the rivers
rising from
the cresting waves
of the sea
flinging light in the wind
glimmering in the dew of night
clinging to the petals
of tender wildflowers
in the wilderness of your nature
the holiness
of fields and meadows
richness of  my dreaming
springing
from radiance

You are the light of all love
the radiance of vision
the precious energy
and Presence
that gives life to each moment
loaning me your eyes
infusing me
with your piercing gaze
sizzling and flashing and flaming
in the brilliance
of the sun
and the peace
of your Soulfulness

God….you are timeless
the dearest pulsing
heart of belovedness
the billowing invisibility
of faith
there is no life
without You

You are passage
into the depths of the unknown
brimming with mystery
encompassing
a holy space
spinning me
into galaxies of stars
brushing my lips
with the winds of heaven
sweet breath
escaping in my sighs

In this deepest silence
calling me from sleep
I feel your whispering tenderness
guiding me to follow your
caressing Spirit
your divine surrounding music
the song of love
drawing and cradling me
in the currents
of the infinite sea
of eternal love

You are the child cradled in my arms

The Beloved finds a flight inside
the vastness and purity of love
spiraling deep and high and wide
in the pristine branches of the tree of life
shaking loose the possibilities

the miracle of spirit softly touching
the mystical shores of soul
flowing far beyond our knowing….
gently opening the fertile womb
bathed in a softly falling light

the seeds of life embraced
in a nest now lined with grace
soon to flourish and flower
into glorious expressions
of the unseen Source of life itself

You are the child cradled in my arms
the boy who swings on branches
of the tree of life…I am love
gentling the roar of the lion
rescuing the lamb who has lost its way

I am forever listening
to the silences of the creator
hearing the whispering voice
making a choice
to emerge from the womb..

I feel the movement
pushing free inside of me
the open hands of the earth
and the light of life
welcoming thee

The blazing gaze
of the Beloved igniting
the sparks and sighs
of the fire of love
that never dies

Together we are the spring
flowing forth in the light
of our longing to be free
a rivering kindness
seeking the sea

Awakening

August 10, 2015

0 Beauty of the Night sky 9617631-lg

Awakening in my early hours
I look out to check the sky
and the moon is still out there
shining and smiling and casting a glow
over the earth below

Sometimes I slip into a dream
of a world so much more than it seems
and feel the beauty and love of thy Heart
that split apart like the rays of a prism
to create a paradise
through those dancing eyes

This intimate and holy hour
unveils a vision in the depth of night
and light rays pierce the darkness
as revelations fall like apples from the tree
and everything turns to spring in thee
I fly to the garden to meet thee my love
to catch one more glimpse
of you who creates the beauty I feel
fresh and so divinely real

Silence falls upon on the sacred spaces
of my solitude
and ever so quietly
I open my eyes upon a star-studded darkness
surrounded by that precious Silence
when the Mystery awakens
to give birth
to a private awareness
when beauty spreads out across the night sky
when color springs from the soul
and joy reaches to light the way
to heaven
creating divine secrets to
decorate the dawn

something blooms and flowers in the night
creating a special light
as we wander in the garden
love walks in silent strength where
the Beloved dwells

as a river falls majestically down
the mountain
rushing to water the valley below
and love smiles
upon the sacred power
spinning out life with every breath

the tiny violets in the grass are soft beneath my feet
as I walk barefoot
upon this precious earth
to behold the wonders the Beloved creates

we live in awe
in the wake of the rolling wave
that transforms a barren place into
fruitful land
and a heart space into a living being

we hear the willows in the wind
and feel them brush against our face
hearing the unseen music
drawing us to dance the feelings

overflowing from
our hearts
though centuries pass
and worlds come and go
the Beloved meets us in the garden
to begin again
my love
and your fragrance lingers there

It hovers in blossoming sweetness
in the evening air
and I feel you breathing softly
creating a glowing light
so near my hair

reach to finally touch thee
and you turn and gaze at me
eyes as deep as the glistening sea
creating waves of feeling
leaving me reeling in ecstasy

How could you realize
when you brought heaven to earth
to create a world of grace
the heart would sense thy beauty
in every passing face

Spirit spreads an untouchable glory
stirring my surrendered soul
to sing and tell thy story
of the sweetest deepest well
within…..where you live and dwell

The secret to heaven falls
in the rhythmic rain of spring
creating an eternal dance
on the wings and waves of this romance
spreading smiles in our souls

As I arise in the dark of night
in the ever renewing flight
of the light of Spirit
I know deep within the Heart
it is our laughter and our Joy
that brings the Light

Joy

Rassouli - Joy Vibrations

Perhaps each of us lives into a dream of finally being wise..
or do we stumble into the moment and learn to improvise..
do we find a guru who will guide us with wisdom on how to live..
spend our time doing good for others…wanting only to give..

or organize a religion that will dictate a doctrine of power..
use fear to frighten others with threats in that final hour…
When it comes to institutions, can we prove a single thing…
or believe the rambling verbage of politicians wanting to be king..

Is there a moment we begin to trust our souls and live what is true
Tell me is truth constant and absolute…or is it the love inside of you..
If we make a mess of things…can we befriend our confusion..
can we love the unlovable…and see through the illusion..

What is your touchstone…your sacred secret of renewal..
Where do you find your joy and what is it that makes us cruel..
Your feet are vibrating with the rhythm of this sacred land..
Will you dance through this life….and will you hold my hand…..

What excites you…what gives your life meaning… what terrifies you..
Can you delight in other’s differences and celebrate their rights too…
feel your belonging to humanity…and surrender to the flow..
Could we possibly fall into love and savor the communal glow..

This is your moment…no one else can make your choice of who to be..
O dear one, when you choose, may you find the joy in life that’s free..
and walk in the light beneath the moon and under the sun…
and remember how good it feels to laugh…and have a little fun..

Love is the secret spring of existence…….

Feeling the laughter of light …..
and the flow of the music of love
a kaleidscope of beauty tumbling and turning 
in the eyes of our hearts
all that comes to life
and transports us in timeless grace
into new worlds we create
moment by moment
the songs
seep from the forms
as a spring from the soul
feeling whole
and free
to be sharing with thee
the sacred sound of silence
as vision pouring
from the minstrels
and maestros
the troubadours
and
artists of light
spilling
from the sun
and melting in the glow
from the moon

~

As the light touches the horizon of our world
appearing and disappearing
a play of sunbeams..coloring dreams
streaming and dazzling …..our grateful eyes
sunrise….butterflies…….silver grey shadows casting blue
I seem to thrive on being alive
and feel an aching love….and a profusion
of tears for the weeping earth….sweet sighs
to be so touched by beauty ….
