Lest We BecomeA Poem by Sami KhalilLest We Become
by
Sami Khalil Seldom in winter’s nights nor summer days As dawn and dusk move across mountains You reign not in my thoughts with splendid ways Toasting to love,
astride sky and fountains. Oh, how solace the litany of binds Leaning and reflecting on you, my dear Things come in waves, of duos grits and grinds I climbed steep hills, carved canyons in great cheer. Who lit the path, who planted the garden Shed tears when roses took their roots, blooming?! I formed the flowered notes, songs to hearken Wrapped in moonlight shadows, stargaze wooing. Beauty bestowed! How true the narrative… Lest we become… vows are not durative. © 2024 Sami KhalilReviews
