Sea Change

Sea Change...By Sami Khalil

There are always better ways to do things.

Soldiers can march

Can march better

With drum-beats!

Rulers can rule

Can rule better

Upon servant seats!

Poets can write

Can write better 

Where passion meets!

Humans can flourish

Can flourish better

Through selfless feats!

indeed we can all do better with the right form of motivation

[Sami Khalil]

So true and well articulated. Thank you so much Quill for the time and visit.

That's AMAZING Sami! "through selfless feasts!" YES! Greed only brought mankind disasters, and aren't all of us, soldiers, rulers, poets...all but HUMANS? that we all should flourish through "selflessness" through giving? though a short piece but holds a great message and value to our world and humaneness, if only all can listen and act to it!

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Your light is shinning far and wide. You have summed it up marvelously.
Thank you so much beloved poet for all.

Sammy, there is so much wisdom in your words, my friend. This world would be in a wonderful space if people lived with selflessness. But many people do try but go about it the wrong way. To change is not to use the mind. you'll get there for a while then you find that beneath this change you might scratch the surface and find thins jut the way they were before. The only way to really change is to find out who you are. Once you have found yourself Changes will come automatically. that's the way it goes. I enjoyed your poem, my friend, sorry I had to put my own wisdom down. All the best, my friend...Peter

Wow! Thank you so much beloved poet and friend for this wonderful review and wisdom. The self is part of the whole . Awareness of the self is part and parcel of the awareness of the whole. In religious terms or in my belief , we are all created from a single soul. To find your true self is to connect with The Creator, The Originator and His creation. To worship Him and serve others , will create the dynamic unity and peace away from the selfish wants and desires in the mundane pursuits. Love, compassion and selfless acts will fulfill His Will. My belief , with all do respect, is God centered and not self- centered as some Eastern Philosophies. Only when we submit our will, align it with His Good Will, will we ever find joy and peace... The Spirit of God pervades all and everything He created. The more you are in The Spirit, the more the realization of oneness.
Not preaching, but I believe.
Two main things; Submit to the Will of God, Connect to His Spirit in all things. They will lead to doing His Good Will in The heavens and on Earth. Man always fails in history to do these things in pursuit of self-centered ways. Always without regard to God or others.
In this poem, it tells us as humanity, which we are soldiers, how to march better and to a unified rhythm, how to be more willing to serve if you want to lead, how to be more passionate about nature and arts, how to sacrifice our ego and selfish pursuits in selfless deeds.
Thank you kindly and may The Great Spirit bless you and all.

Thank you for your words Sammy. Much of what you say I can relate too. To me we are all one. I have no religion but most of what you say I have felt deep within. Thank you for your comments, my friend. all the best Peter

[Sami Khalil]

All good and you are so right. We are one. Thank you so much master poet.

[Terry L & Linda L Shuff]

The wisdom of this work,is worth more than can express

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Thank you so much beloved poet and friend for this wonderful testimony. You are one of a kind.

You so often find wisdom in brevity (still learning, me), Sami. You say the obvious but wrap it in clever word webs so readers have to focus, notice, make sense... or should, indeed. We shouldl take care; should be far more aware of individual acts of respect t'ward places and persons before they
fade into a dark hole. Think what's disappeared in our past twenty five years, how the world's altering. How .. where has become what? and why and when isn't far away. Selfless feats should become the norm before we lose out on the precious. This really is more a warning than inspiration.. or, the opposite depending on how one looks.

[Sami Khalil]

Whoee! Truthfully said and eloquently portrayed. Your intellect is boundless as your kindness. All rich blessings.

[emmajoy]

Thank you, Sami - you're very welcome.

[Chris Shaw]

Not one of us is perfect, and each one of us has the ability to improve ourselves. This is a short poem, but it has a strong message.We can do better.

Thank you Sami

Chris

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa! So true and well articulated. I love your perspective on this write. Thank you Chris for all.

[Lyn Anderson]

It's been a while. Succinct, impactful, and nicely said. If we aren't willing to grow and change then we cannot become better ... and sameness is complacency, a waste of the gifts we are given ...

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I so do agree. You are speaking in truth. So glad to see you still around. Thank you so much Lyn Anderson for all.

[Onlyme]

Exactly, we all can do better in this world. If only we all would. Profound, true and straight to the point. and expressed with such power and clarity.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Thank you so much dear poet for your visit and wonderful review. Glad you enjoyed.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... reminds me of “Ramdom acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty” (author unknown to me) ... there are poets like you on WC who are worth their weight in gold...
truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You too dear poet and friend. Thank you so much Patricia Wedel for all you inspire and give .

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami... humility is best served with smiles of pleasure and a dozen roses to grace your soul... Amen... Pat
