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.

Dear Sami, I have to say my mind went into overload when I read your fine words. Maybe because of the conflict in the world my mind drifted to the propaganda machine and focused on the deceit and lies that are currently being pedalled in the name of truth. I also though of the many who are doing their own research or are demonstrating, only to be silenced in a cruel way. Freedom is a precious gift. We should never forget that. Your lines also took me to other places which is the wonderful thing about poetry. Thank you for your gift, have a wonderful Wednesday.

Wowzy! Your words are so truthful and worthy. You are precious in my book. I can't agree more of what you said. I might add also religion to your words and the authority over those religions. Thank you so much dear poet and friend. See you soon.
