My Other Wing

I search for patterns and meanings of life

I often wonder if what I'm feeling is right

If I'm the only one, If I'm the only breed

who sees this way, who not wants but needs

It's not like this is something I'm just now facing,

this feeling has always had a strong foundation

In pre-school when kids would be building blocks,

I was always busy building thoughts

When my friends were occupied playing on trees,

I used to just sit there studying their leaves.

Or the time when everyone liked that one pretty girl,

I always knew she wanted something else.

As everyone was occupied in other things,

I always searched for my other wing.

I continue to wonder if I should lose or try

I know deep down it takes two to fly

So God if you're there, give me one more chance.

If you've already looked, please take one more glance.

Because if my other wing and I ever do cross paths,

I'll cherish it making sure I never cross back.

Such depth of wisdom and breadth of creative search. I feel your free spirit, like mine, wants to know more, go beyond, seek through. Keep it up. You are not alone. Excellent work.

[Muhammad]

I hope to continue learning more, going beyond, and seeking through with authors such as yourself, Sami.

Thank you for your thoughtful words.

[Sami Khalil]

All wonderful. You are welcome and highly praised.

A very beautiful poem, so beautifully written, subtle, yet I felt it’s intensity. I totally subscribe and find myself in every verse ….
Our writing, past and search seems similar.
I wish you get that dream come true

[Muhammad]

The feedback I enjoy the most is not so much about my prose, wordplay, or structure; rather, when others can find themselves in my words.

Thank you.

Alhamdililah, this is a very beautiful form of art. I agree you have a very keen sense of whats important in youre writing! Inshallah you keep it up! I'll be stopping by and checking out more of your work.

Muhammad...glorious piece of work... Perhaps you are yet another kindred, yes? I only see in the face of knowing others feel as I, each of us fallen, one-winged angels with halos made of cracking crystal. Beautifully written, and a credit to the Art of Thought.

[D. Pesek]

awesome job dude. this poem is great...I can totally relate to that feeling. my favorite lines are the preschool one about building thoughts and the ones at the end about God...those really hit home for me.
