Hidden Powers
—Brian Sheen June 25, 2000

When it's dark and rainy with lightening in the air
With thunder blasting loudly and storm clouds everywhere
Its easy not to remember, behind the threatening sky,
The sun is still out shining , not visible to the eye.
Although unseen ,the rays of light, are shining without delay
Whether our world is turned to nighttime or in a darkened day
Emitting its' healing radiance , that nurnurturestures mother Earth
Providing essential nutriment , to fill our world with worth
With patience and commitment, the darkness disappears
Basking us in Sunshine ,with joy and no more fears
For this is the cycle of existence, in this the relative field
Yet focusing on our Source of Light, our peace we'll never yield
For clouds there will be many , and storms will come and go,
But the Light is always radiating, its truth for us to know
We are the sunshine of the Life
Wherever we are is the Light
We are the pure free bliss of love
Deep in our heart or high above
So soar like an eagle and glow like a star
Today's our liberation, at last we know we ARE.


A Poetic Prayer
by Brian Sheen June 14th, 2001

Align me, refine me,define and remind me,
Hold me, mold me ,open my heart and unfold me,
In your hands I place my small will,
To absorb Your strength and feel it still,
Inside me,beside me,Your Love It does imbibe me,
Direct me,dissect me,remove the thoughts that infect me,
Help me to set aside, the "me" to know Thee and that We're eternally
Help me let go the illusion of myself and know the Truth of Self,
You are the voice that sings the ancient melody,
the vision that sees beyond the flesh,
The taste of nectar so sweet,
the aroma of blossoming flowers,
the feel of softness so tender,
Within you freedom reigns and each moment contains eternity,
At last I am Home!


The InDweller
—Brian Sheen June 7, 2001

Diving in the space within,
I leave behind the guilt and sin
And find myself in a sea of green
A love so deep, a truth unseen.
And for that moment
I have a glance
Of my eternal nature
and the cosmic dance
So when I return
To the world I'm in
I've gained Christ Consciousness
in which I've been
And what I see
I share with you
Remembering how
You helped me through
For your the stars
that guided me safe
To reach the joy
of our sacred place
Which was always there
but forgotten somehow
And now has returned
For it is always NOW.


My New Wish
—Brian Sheen May 23, 2001

Heal me, feel me, peel away my mask
Just tell me,show me,do I need to ask?
Hold me ,unfold me, as I give myself to You,
Know me, Heal me, remind me what is True.
All that I hold I release in this moment,
I yearn to know your boundless Love,
With you as my Guide I experience contentment,
With You in my Heart I an free.
Prayer Revelation...
Best said as you awaken before getting out of bed "As I
awaken upon this day,
I'll accept the blessings that come my way,
I'll smile upon the world I see, and
know that God is one with me."


Choice
—Brian Sheen 18 May 2001

Decisions,decisions,decisions,
Every moment of every day I must decide,
It seems a non-stop bombardment of choice upon choice,
Should I go right,or should I go left?,
What color to wear today that feels best?
Is this the best time to call my old friend?
Hmmm..what should I begin and what should I end?
Does the look I just got mean I did something he didn't like?
If she didn't call does it mean she's angry tonight?
How should I approach my spouse and my boss
Should;d I sell now and finally take this loss?
So many choices and so little time
Its truly a wonder I don't go out of my mind,
gosh how I wish there was another way,
Where all decisions made,brought peace through the day,
I struggle with guilt and fear of my past,
Hoping that these situations will no longer last,
But worry as I do doesn't set them apart,
And the heaviness I feel settles into my heart,
Perhaps I should to do exactly as I've learned,
To make all decisions with the Inner Guidance I've spurned,
To pause for a memento as I look deep inside,
Ignoring the first response and listening instead to my Guide,
I know it has worked when I gave It my trust,
maybe its time to clear out my inner rust,
I know God is in me and waiting to be asked,
So silly it is to let this moment past,
Ok here I go with a one and a two,
My gosh that was easy I already feel anew,
Ok then let's go here ,I've finally begun,
To let go and let God, now decisions are fun.
With You by my side and inside as well,
Its seems all I have now is happiness to tell!


Mom
—Brian Sheen May 10, 2001

What a blessing, and oh what a joy,
whether we return as a girl or a boy
Feel the magnificence and experience the grace...
Even when giggling with spit o'er our face....
Can you remember the times looking up
wondering and wondering who this angel was
She held us and loved us
She fed us and cleaned
She wiped our tears
and rocked us to sleep
Each night she came in
to make sure we were safe
We felt her close presence
protected in our place
We played and we played
as she taught us to talk
And to walk and to write
In the day and the night
She bandaged our boo boos
She wiped often our nose
Ran her fingers through our hair
and then tickle our toes
She unconditionally loved us
Even times when she got mad
Ok she was human
And sometimes was sad
She always stood beside us
In thick and in thin
In thicker and then thickest
She always helped us win
For marriages she cried tears of happiness
And in divorce tear of sadness
Its amazing when you think about it
That we didn't cause her madness!
Yet the truth be known and remembered
And illusion lets now lay to rest
Only love is real
And Mom you are that,the best!


Forever Free
— Brian Sheen 8 July 2001

Arise, shed those shrouds of darkness,
awaken to the Light of day.
Stand tall,like a redwood in the forest,
extend your arms to embrace the sky.
Feel the abundance that surrounds you,
as the wind blows through your hair,
and the warmth of the sun,caresses your smile.
Experience the fun of all the fruits that you sow
Yet as you unite with Nature and become involved in the wonderment of existence,
forget not your roots which reach down deep
within the Inner world and
carries the sap of Life,
into all varieties of forms and experience.
For although the current of Life is invisible,
it is your Source.
Know this and you know the essence of your being.....infinite,eternal and
forever free


The Spirit Of The Amazon
— Brian Sheen July 24, 2001
Creation unfolded before my minds eye,
Before the Word, the Intention of The Thought emerged,
In amazement I sat in wonder, at last I SEE,
All that ever was and all that ever will be was in that instance.
The layers upon layers of all that has been
spouted like a fountain,
bursting in the colors and forms that were to be
the foundation of all the worlds,
I smiled in joy and as all my questions were answered, the questionless state at last.
And while I lay there in delight , in a peace beyond any I have known before, I smiled,
I laughed, I rejoiced, I was one with all creation for
I was creation itself,
There was no you and there was no me ,it was us as one in all eternity...


Again
— Brian Sheen July 12, 2001

You finally called me after such a long time,
I thought I had at last put you out of my mind,
Now images return and feelings sparked as then,
I thought I'd learned this lesson, must I go through it again?
I smile, take a deep breath and listen to my heart,
I am ready and willing for this moment to start,
Ignite, blow out, turn it high or turn it low,
I trust all happenings as peace I'll soon know,
Whatever the past has been brought my way,
I'm certain my outlook is only of this day,
My faith is in the Divine Plan only peace is what its for.
My function and my mission ,will open every door,
I know at all times ,the Will is always Thine
Thank you, for in me your grace does always brightly shine.


Poem
—Brian Sheen Aug 11, 2001

Inner stillness,
Outward calm,
Inner fullness,
Outward charm.
That within,
creates,
that without,
That inside
decides
with or without.
I'm not quite clear where all this is going,
And honestly I don't really care,
But a point of this might just as well be made
We're all at One .. in the Light or in the shade
Coincidence? by Brian Sheen Aug 19, 2001
Seemingly unrelated events
come together
when least expecting it.
Otherwise random
events
begin
to show a pattern,
A matrix of vision... or perhaps feelings,
that weave through the texture of your life,
an unmistakable message for you to hear;
that rings inside your head," Ah yes,
a lesson for me to learn".
Then with renewed faith and wisdom,
you energize your highest truths,
and ride the wave of Higher vibrations,
Nature Herself coherently attunes her strength your way,
Synchronizing forces have demonstrated
their significance to you,
you heed the call of the symbolic expressions
each omen brings you.
The co incidents of co creation unify co operatively,
Beckoning your absorption in Divine Will.
Accept this Grace and share your gratitude.


Inadvertent Smile
—Brian Sheen Sept 2, 2001

You never even saw me, but I saw you
I never knew your name, but I knew who,
smiled so brightly and lit up my heart
a memory to recall each day at the start
An inadvertent smile,that somehow came my way,
To bring me great pleasure and brighten my day,
So I thank you so deeply for your kindness and grace,
And to all that I meet I will share your smiling face..
Spiritual Adventure
Onward ,onward I hear the voices call,
There's such Love and Abundance, go ahead, embrace it all,
There are no limitations or boundaries for you to heed,
The world is all your playground to love and sow My Seed,
The Seed for which I planted ,so deep within your heart,
To let you know We both are One, and never are apart.
Deny those fearful doubters ,who ask you to watch your step,
For I am also with you, with Love for you to get.
This world is but a symbol, a making of your mind,
A toy for your experiencing ,to learn there isn't time.
So share in all the glory and dance and sing and shout,
For fun is what this world is for and what this Life is all about.


Peace
— Brian Sheen Oct 17, 2001 (Happy Birthday to me)

Where oh where has the peace gone?
I look for it high and low, to my right and to my left,
yet it seems to allude me and say hidden.
Where oh where has the peace gone?
Where oh where has the happiness gone?
I searched for it in the mountains and in valleys near and far,
in the ocean and in fields filled with beautiful flowers,
still I cannot feel its' presence,
Where oh where has the happiness gone?
Where oh where has my feelings of love gone?
Over and over again I try so hard to regain it.
I ask my friends and my family to help me find it,
I read and I journey to places that fill me with promises,
nevertheless I am empty and lonely still,
Where oh where has the feelings of love gone?
Here and there and everywhere in-between we struggle to find lasting satisfaction
Searching and lurching for a secret magic potion, an instant revival of our spirit,
we spend week after week on a quest for the Holy Grail
Such lengths we go to discover the miracle cure for our frustrations, we multiply even further this feeling,
Soon we become discouraged and embittered , certain that this must be a mirage we are after,
Until one day, when all efforts have ceased, all expectations are dropped and all chances seem gone,
It is in this effortlessness, this quiet solitude, this conceptless moment of time that out of the blue an angel appears,
The angel may have the appearance of a frog or a insect, a person or a celestial being, it matters not,
but a communion occurs with the Source of life Itself...and suddenly all questions are answered,all desires are satisfied.
For some this experience is the last seconds of life on this planet, for others years and years before.
but for all it is a revelation of knowingness, an elevation of spirit, an embracing of Truth so powerful as never to be forgotten,
It can happen in an instant, this instant
or it can take a lifetime or more
it all depends on one and only one thing...
the choice you make...now...now ...and again...now...choose the Teacher of Peace to be
your guide or choice the teacher of your past, your own self...connect now
to the One Chosen to guide you to you true nature or the one identified with
the world of fear which surrounds you....THIS and only this will determine
your experience here and the experience you have in this world,
Where oh where has the peace,happiness and love gone?
No where ,it is inside you waiting for you to make that choice.


How to Know God
by Brian Sheen Nov 7, 2001

I want to know God she said
As I listened close at hand
And so do I he echoed in
while I sat to understand.
And from above I heard a voice
A laugh and then a sigh
You want to know Me ,it said
Alright then please come nigh.
I am happy to show myself to you
And tell you all I know
To teach you all Life's mysteries
and help your awareness grow.
But first I have a prerequisite
A step you first must take
And when you have accomplished this, He said
The Knowledge of Source I will relate.
Of course we will, they declared
What you tell us we will do
And do the work so diligently
Until this job is through.
Well Done said the voice in great delight
Its time to get your start
But remember your promise to see it through
For only then will this wisdom I impart.
I have created many wonders,He said
Of those you both are two
Throughout this world I have placed my seeds
And this I want you to do
To have a chance to know me well
as this you've prayed so hard
You must first know my creations
so to know what's in my heart
For this you must go deep within
and learn a deeper truth
All your defenses must be torn apart
as you get comfortable first with you
You see I created you with joy and love
But you have made it something else
Your fears and guilt are not my doing
These were made by your little self.
And when you have found what you have buried within
Then to your brother you must turn
To communicate with him as the Child I created
and to see him as he really is.
So this is all I ask from you
So simple I know you'll smile
For I created you all in an image of love
To ensure you'll know my wile
At this I heard some grunts and groans
A protest at what they heard
You tricked us they said in unison
And after you've given your word!
To look within is impossible
The thought is so absurd
I must of sat there an hour or more
Waiting for the Voice to resound
But nothing more was spoken or done
As this couple left feeling so down
And as they left I heard them curse
with words that I dare not repeat
Betrayal and disgust was their tone
and heavily dragging their feet
The time went by an hour or more
As I found myself still there
Recalling the conversation I heard
And wondering how I could steer
my life to follow these simple requests
That seemed more then reasonable to me
So I sat in quiet meditation
For quite some time under this big tree
I don't know when or how long it was
when a sudden surge I felt within
A bubbling of joy and happiness
A feeling of all that has been
was leading me to the answer
a path that was simple and clear
How easy and fun these directions had been
At last I could feel God near.


Poem of Thanksgiving
—Brian Sheen Nov 11, 2001

I thank You for the blessings
in abundance I've received
For opportunities to give service
to those who are in need
For the chance to make new choices
To head down another road
To experience awe and wonder
Of the miracles I have heard
Thank you for exposing
The unhealed wounds inside
For helping me undo them
Despite the times I've cried
For times of joy and happiness
And peace profound and true
For the beauty that surrounds me
And faith to depend on You
For giving me the strength
At times I felt so weak
For allowing me to discover
Thy Will when I did seek
For my children who remind me
That part of me inside
That 's filled with fun and wonder
and from You never hides
For surrounding me with friendship
Of those who cherish Truth
and join together in practice
To be at One with you
For all the many happenings
I know that will emerge
To bring me peace and happiness
as fear and guilt I purge
To sit in bliss and freedom
and play amongst the stars
To dive the deepest ocean
and drive the fastest cars
To all I have to give to all
And all I learn as I go
To feel your Grace and Kindness
For this I have come to know
You are my Source, my breath of Life
The Core of all I am
With gratitude and devotion
I thank You again and again.


Inspiration
by Brian Sheen Dec 6, 2001

Like a radiant sun
you walk into the room
casting your sunbeams wherever you look
The sparks form your smile
light a fire of inspiration within
as the bubbling flames dance from your countenance
Within the wood if fire
waiting to be ignited
Within my soul are wings
awaiting an updraft to launch me into the heavens
New visions of dormant dreams
come alive
Thank you for your grace
and blessing the very center
into which you arrived
For it is from this point.
new life will emerge
spreading
great joy
and
abundance
An Inspiration


Thru  
Brian Sheen 25 June 2002

Henceforth have I come
To understand such things
As love and peace and joy?
And to wherefore shall I go?
Having learned what I know,
Do I hoard it or do I share freely?
Only my actions will tell what I've done'
To where I have gone or what I've become.
I live like an indispensable ray of the sun
Or I hide in the darkest cave and cry?
My I choose if I live or I die!
