allah

allah, seated in the heart

as non-dual perfection

living in sinless beauty that shines 

as all

forsaken of the world 

and without impurities 

within timelessness and joy
eternal

allah, measured only by 

love and light 

perfect in silence 

perfect in calm presence 

stainless 

and shed of coverings 

one 

allah, pure spirit

present in equal quantities unto all

not of this world and not 

of a speck of darkness
untainted

as a light unto itself 

mysterious 

allah, messenger of joy

thou comes to the world and 

speaks in silent beauty

to what is real 

and what lies beyond the desiring mind 

as a light full and glorious 

thou comes to the world 

holding up the ones that are sincere 

and holding up the ones that are 

not sincere 

and holding all up as one heart 

holding those that walk in light 

and those that walk in shadow 

holding all up as one heart 

holding those that are as saints 

and those that are as sinners 

holding all up as one heart 

holding the rising of creation and 

holding the decay and death

holding all up as one heart 

holding the majestic moon that 

shines 

and the sun too and the still waters 

and moving tides 

and the creatures that crawl and fly 

and swim and play

and the seasons that change and bring 

such beautiful wonders in their wake

such as the opening of buds and flowering 

of color and life 

and deep mysterious darkness and changing 

shadows and light 

that abound for all to enjoy

holding all up as one heart 

allah, messiah to the soul that sleeps 

and lifter of shadow 

glory is your name 

glory is your beautiful presence 

that lives in all hearts 

breathe this spirit that lives my seekers 

and feel it's perfect breath in 

your breath and feel it's perfect 

heart in your heart 

as one you will be then 

not as two 

for this is not real like a ray extends 

from the source (the sun) 

so your being is not separate 

and manifests from the source 

and is one unto it always 

may this blessing abound in your soul

and may you drink heartily from it's wealth

as a popper that comes to undress his 

rags and throw them in the river 

to find then that he is always as a lord 

of himself 

and not at all wanting or desiring to be 

something better 

how it is found then that all is one heart 

nothing missing ever 

not for an instant 

what a blessing 

allah

freedom incarnate
