Go forth and tell

Go forth and tell

A Poem by Sami Khalil

Go forth and tell         by Sami Khalil




 

Go forth and tell them all, I am not dead

Nor that I fall asleep or pine away

I ween nay to harken weavers of dread

Mark my cotton words of love night and day.

 

Careless the scornful man who sings not praise

Blase’ to the highest calling around

Behind us birth, before us boundless ways

Shrug off the crowds, embrace all sounds and sight.

 

The world can be bitter, the winds howling

Wars can cast stark layers of uncertainty

There are those who grapple with life, doubting

And those who triumph through adversity.

 

Go forth and tell all, pull back the arras

For I’m the buds of spring, the blazoned class.

And those who triumph through adversity."

Life is so uncertain and sometimes I don't like its sudden revelations. I just love your way of building up the tension and vibes here.

Dramatic and in a way - daring the world to try your patience and moral strength. Seems that is what you are saying in the following superb stanza,

'The world can be bitter, the winds howling
Wars can cast stark layers of uncertainty
There are those who grapple with life, doubting
And those who triumph through adversity.'

What a finely laid sonnet, Sami

You are not dead if you embrace life fully, in all its ups and downs.

We never know what is going to happen in life. There are trials and victories. There is trauma and there is triumph.
