SufferingA Poem by Sami KhalilSuffering
by
Sami Khalil I pause to catch glimpses of passing clouds Inching across Gentian skies and pink Over rubble and dust, rambling white shrouds Where aching sounds and lives lost in a blink. I cause my wandering mind to meander Skipping shadows casted and dreamy wings Where blades of grass do sway and hopes clamber Sounds of thunder and drifted lightening slings. I spy a flock of sheep tarried, stranded Nowhere to run from the butcher at hand With first harvest of souls and pride branded Reaping his hate-filled face, yielding quicksand. I rub my eyes in disbelief wondering How to rehearse farewell songs to suffering. © 2024 Sami KhalilReviews
