Holidays                         by Sami Khalil

Be of good cheers…

 

To tug at the spirit, my soul doth yearn

To vanish dark despair and live in peace

Seekers of light that shines where longings churn

Where voices intone songs of love’s release.

 

Holidays are rimmed with vivid embers

Leisurely sparking flames till dawn’s first gleam

Shall not tomorrow’s hope break chain’s vendors

Where mercy’s given to venturing dream.

 

How gracious thou art God in jeweled crown

Thereon we bow and bend the knees in praise

Over hills and hollows, the wondrous town

Cheers rise where eyes behold beauty’s said ways.

 

To tug at the spirit, my soul doth yearn

A bright future awaits those who discern.

Whoeeee! A beautiful message that is worthy of all thanks. I'm so glad you have visited to share and embrace.
May your holiday or holidays be filled with love, peace and joy.

dear Sami... A baby in a Manger is the purest form of the Spirit... to celebrate all children and teach them about the Lights of Christmas ... much like the Christmas lights on the trees and stained glass windows where the Light shines through. I respect different Faiths... as we all believe in the Spirit that everyone receives a Birth as I believe it is a part of the Holy Spirit. If more people realized that they are part of the Universe and the Great Spirit... that is part of Nature. gently, Pat

An excellent write that reflects the best of the coming holiday season my friend. I hope this time of year will bring more kindness and love among people instead of the dark tidings the recent past has brought. As always I marvel at your artful style my friend. Thank you Sami and I wish you a wonderful holiday season as well.

OMG! You are a noble soul indeed. I share all your feelings Carlos. I wish you and your family the best of blessings during this time. You are so right. Bad, fake news are always on the back of our minds and they occupy large portions. I guess we have to make sweet lemonade from bitter lemons. Thank you so much for all.
