An Open Invitation              by Sami Khalil

Layer by layer

Detail by detail

Narrative by narrative

Beyond the “holy Canon”- truths untold.

Past the “official story”- versions uncovered.

Far off the “written history”- offings near conceivably.

 Afar this “mundane life”- plethora of possibilities.

Indeed, and perhaps

An afterthought, an aftertaste, an after scent,

Filling, fulfilling, tilling many indicative Ellipses.

So, let us kickstart our search,

embrace no tunnel visions and bring back

driftwood conversations, petrified connotations,

wilted innovations, before the setting sun vanishes...

An open invitation.

[Tom]

An adroit, rhythmical poem urging one to open wide their eyes and gaze upon this wondrous world and look even further beyond, there is much to behold, so time to remove morose, blinkered googles and let positivity, the vibrancy flow freely ..

' So, let us kickstart our search,

embrace no tunnel visions and bring back

Howdy do! You are so right dear poet and friend. That is how we can learn, appreciate and give thanks for all our blessings. So good to see you poet Tom and so thankful for all.
Note: I went to your page to enjoy any newpostings, but did not see any. Will be more patient.

Coolio Sami 😎

[Sami Khalil]

Missed my good ole friend. Will visit soon. I hope all is well in your world.

[Tom]

Yes, thx, all well and how time flies 🤯

[Muhammad]

You are far from living a "mundane life" to be putting out material such as this.

This is the kind of work I come across and realize I have to step up my game.

Invitation accepted, Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I keep up my research like you do. Many things, many truths, many facts we can uncover as you know by due diligence, open mindset. Thank you Muhammad(highly praised) for your visit and sharing your thoughts.

A wonderful poem shared Sami. I liked the energy and the positive feel of the words. I agree, we must seek new places, new thought and lose the weight of regret. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

Banga bo! I totally agree dear poet and friend. We must sift through, uncover under and discover backgrounds and other grounds. My I thank you with the blessings of The Great Spirit of All. Enjoy the Upper Peninsula. Been there. Loved it.

[Robert Haigh]

Yes - question everything, and satisfy your own mind that you have found the truth. The media are often far from objective in what they feed us, and politicians almost always tell us what their spin doctors have concocted in their offices and backrooms. Even many aspects of history are suspect. So much "fake news" about in this modern age! A poem to ponder, my friend!

[Sami Khalil]

Javajavaya! I wholeheartedly agree my friend and dear poet. Your take on this poem rings true and true. That is why God gave us the mind with reasoning abilities and pondering ones. Thank you so much Robert for all. On my way to visit.

[Pete]

here here. you're so slick and sly and may i kindly add seeing the forest and not the trees ... ")

[Sami Khalil]

Howdy! You got the gist dear poet and friend. You made an excellent point. Keep searching and try to see it from other people's point of views. Thank you so much sir Pete.

[AMMD]

[Lydia Shutter]

The truth has many layers and they seem to be molded into whatever the media decides to tell us. It is wise to get the news from many sources. To get the story from a few and then draw our own conclusions. Your poem itself is multi-layered, Sami. I liked it....but missed the artwork you usually post with your poetry. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well said. I will pick that up on the art side. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this sensitive and important topic. Gracie Milleee...

[M. J. Smith]

Long have I said that I make a terrible sheep. I question everything. I don't trust anything. It is said that if we do not learn from history we are doomed to repeat it. But how can we learn from something that is no longer taught? A whole generation is growing up without even the right questions to ask.
Sorry. I ramble. But these are the thoughts your poem brings to mind. Hope I haven't mis- interpreted. Well done, my friend. Most profound.

[Sami Khalil]

Not at all M. J. You have shared wonderful things. I keep searching and questioning myself. Like they say, there are 3 sides to every story. Thank you so much for all.
