Peacock And Doves

Everything will be accounted for...

Peacock and Doves    by Sami Khalil

Friable sands of time

Between our fingers…

Frayed dreams of yore

on oil slick roads…

simper and laugh

politely, harshly,

while overweening clouds

spill their heavy loads,

across traversed hills and valleys,

over repleted peacock and doves,

the grey edges of existence,

the curved blessings of rainbows,

round the bends of faith and doubt.

T ’was the day before our birth,

the day after departure;

landlord awaiting,

to bless with love greetings or curse with roughhewn exiles,

where winds sigh through,

the eerie sight of falling leaves,

the ready answers of sore vexed truths;

more than meets the eye.

Beautifully descriptive poem
While Overweening clouds
Spill their heavy loads .
I especially love these lines
The curved blessings of rainbows,
round the bend of faith and doubt.
Kudos

dear Sami… more than meets the eye… the Sky is our Refuge … when I often wonder at the formations of Poets and Angels, as well as Musicians and Singers who have departed.. and yet their Spirit lives on in the Clouds where memories keep charge of each sacred melody. Be Brave and Believe. truly, Pat

The great wonders and splendour of nature, beautifully accounted for in poetic fashion, here in this fine poem, Sami! Some wonderful lines... "the grey edges of existence,/the curved blessings of rainbows,/round the bends of faith and doubt." The imagery shimmers and glows and delights! Very well penned, my friend!

[Sami Khalil]
