Confidence

Are you sure???

Confidence                   by Sami Khalil

Confidence emerges…

energizes, apprises:

“Can do attitude”,

“How to be sure”.

Dreams blossom

into clear commands,

into beacons of hope.

You sound more reasonable…

can arise with the sun,

casting a luminous path,

along the multiplicity of shadows.

You embrace the timeless

over the trivial;

the bewilderment of the infinite order

upon the jungles of confusion.

 

The day will come

When your confidence emerges, energizes-

the crowded elevators, the crested waves,

The sagging roofs, the sliding clouds to nowhere…

apprises: the awarded badges; the day your earth stood not still,

the time your back story crossed the finish line.

[Pete]

doubt and uncertainty certainly hold us back - we must be like the butterfly spreading our wings and showing true colors. when we know the steps we strut the dance.

You embrace the timeless
over the trivial;
the bewilderment of the infinite order
upon the jungles of confusion.

- wise words to live by ... :)

[Ken Simm.]

Oh yes it can and you are the living poetical proof of that Sami my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

[andrew mitchell]

Self esteem is like the moon’s surface full of craters from life’s obstacles, people’s opinions which sometimes we take to the heart. Nice work Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree with you. So true and well articulated dear poet and friend. You summed it up marvelously. Thank you kindly for all.

[Lydia Shutter]

We all have a back story, don't we? Many times that story steals our confidence because we feel others will not understand. Truth is, people are more accepting and empathetic than anyone believes. "sliding clouds to nowhere" is a great line in a poem I really enjoyed. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy! I love it. You nailed it on the head. Thank you so much dear poet and friend for sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. You bring a lot to the table.

[Lydia Shutter]

like a mouse in a maze...we find roadblocks, wrong turns, exasperation with life...but if we have enough persistance we will be rewarded and awarded with an earth that does not stand still, and we will be moving participants.

[Chris Shaw]

A marvelous write. I loved your posted image too. Confidence doesn’t come easy to some. When it is found, the flower blooms. A poem for shy girls and boys I think. Wonderful write Sami.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well articulated. It can apply to anything, as you know, and it can supply shy girls and boys like you say. Thank you kindly dear poet and friend for all. Have a blessed day and everyday.
