HOMELAND

A celebration of America's day and the natural wonders...

HOMELAND/By Sami Khalil

( A celebration of America's day, its ideals and the natural wonders )

This is the land!

Your pledge of allegiance

Your exile... forsaken 

Your fertile imagination

Your stripes and colors

You blood flows through

Hopes and dreams proffered 

This is the land!

that loamed your cinch

with golden moments

with outre' dreams

with madrigal realities

with brave's therondies

where its timeless freedoms

breathe the air of knowing

that all men are created equal

even the festooned distaffs too

with merited causes of liberty

that knows neither sopors nor slumber

and justice is blessed with blindness.

This is the day!

For the miens of unsung heroes

For the visages of mantic moons.

For the outward manifestation

For the inner divine essence.

This is my homeland!

A lucid diamond in scented bowers.

You fire the mind of a poet and captivate 

the heart of a wanderer, and in your love 

I shall find life's fulfillment, and in your 

school of nature, I shall learn the art of

living truth but in your sorrow, I shall 

lament with the widowed for in our gilded 

peaks we lost the summit to the wrath

of man reaping his fruits which courses

now in our bodies, minds and souls.

This is the New World!

These are my gnarled hands...

(This review, of course, applies to those words I actually understood. The poet's flowery vocabulary often exceeds my level of expertise--even when I use a dictionary attempting to decode phrases. Obviously, my failing.)
Soaring ode to a wounded giant; extolling the inspired principles upon which the United States was founded.
Raises up its basically good, hard-working people.
Truly heartwarming, Sami!
Thank you.

I had to read this one a few times. There's a lot going on. I prefer poetry that reads easy and hits hard but every now and then I come across a piece that makes me think and after picking it apart and piecing it back together it's was worth the effort. Well done.

[Sami Khalil]

Thank you so much Keely Jane for this lovely review and kind visit. All appreciated.

Sami Khalil,
"HOMELAND" in reading the many faceted list of beauteous strengths the images of the cost have the freedom to write poems like this became quite vivid.
Phrases like, "Your blood flows through hopes and dreams proffered." with madrigal realities, with brave's therondies." and justice is bless with blindness" for the miens of unsung heroes" This is the new world. These are my knarled hands." These are just a little of the gems which touch this heart.
I appreciate your reminder of what we cannot take for granted in this hard won homeland.
Blessings,
Kathy

Very nice sentiments. In God's eyes we are all created equal. Color, race or religion should not matter here if this is really the land of the free. Valentine
