Bismillah, I had a surreal moment the other day This young lady approached me and had a conversation with me I was so inspired by it, I wrote a poem If you would have saw me in this place, maybe you would have been disappointed In no way that someone who you believe is anointed would be in this space Shirt & tie, and mind in space, smoke in the air Music playing but I'm not listening, in my mind I'm saying prayers And then she approaches me she asked me if I drink, only water sista nah now let that boat sink As she pulled up a seat no intoxication you may think But I was definitely drunk off of the thoughts that had me swerving Finally seeing her in no way I would have thought that she was pregnant with wisdom My eyes fooled me and she began to school me Excuse me king, do you mind if I be in your presence And my thought was it would be rude to be unpleasant, But what I thought she wanted to give I had no desire to receive and her eyes didn't say lust so I was relieved but I was still wondering what she was trying to achieve, so I just tapped into my chi and said Basheer just breathe And she begin to say words that was meant for me You are an expression of God, until we see each other as each other, then we will continue to create pain as we express pain Not understanding that to hurt you, is to hurt me Now the music blotted out some of her words, but I heard what was meant. It was clear she was sent, by the one who was omni present, She said Brotha don't take lives for granted or at least that's what I think she said cause it could have been don't take love for granted, but either way it go I was fed, I nodded my head Beautiful sista Others made it clear that they wanted her attention, but I had no desire for what they desired It wasn't my intention She said brother you are god's invention, a masterpiece, an extension Free your heart brother and free your mind, don't put them in detention I said well what if there's dissension, she said unity is the key and they may not always understand each other but they have to come to a point where they agree I said well, even the salt and fresh don't mix in the sea She said exactly that's where they agree They accept each other for who they are and they let each other be What is love I asked, she said it's up to you and me Love is not a possession; you have to let people be free I said well what if it gets return she said well it wasn't meant to be That hurts me deeply I said, she said, yes I get it It used to also hurt me until I got free If I choose to share my life with you and make you a main character in my story than I'm accepting you for who you are and all of your funk & glory I said should I accept my lovers funk? She said, do you even have a choice Either walk away, but when people make up their mind, do you even have a voice My eyes became moist She was freeing from my chains Enslaved by these thoughts, she was my abolitionist and I didn't even know her name she said get free brother or the stress will kill you just the same, as any bullet or disease All because you are living with this shame, that you are not enough Its like the smoke stopped drifting and I could literally see the musical vibrations No one in the room moved and I promise you it was not intoxication I could see the words people were saying Everything stood still, except this woman who I never met who spoke to an issue that was concealed Whoever you make the main character in your life recognize that they are the expression of the maker and they are not just toys of flesh & bone; they are much greater They are expressions of god's, free them, let them go, let them free to be Let yourself free to be and the one who truly loves you will not try to enslave you on the plantation of their expectations You will love each other in a way that is freeing, I said thank you sister as my lungs reach capacity and my ears can no longer take the blasting but I started asking, how did I have a spiritual moment here? Who would have thought that I would receive spiritual clarity here I walked out and began a new path; one step at a time
