Dreams in the light

Dreams in the light            Sami Khalil

An English Sonnet…

 

These are the days when wrongs become so trite

When might makes right, detritus of “Evil”

My elation is that we cease all fight

And twist not justice to cause upheaval.

 

We have unpaid bills due to one another

A reminder that life carries those scars

Woven in its fabric all souls’ attire

Stitched of timeless “Love”, heartbeats of stars.

 

Who can brush off biggest lies that we tell

Fetching the truth in every thoughtful way

In us the worst enemies do dwell

Whose faces we seek in others’ long sway?

 

As the world spins out of our control

Outlive the day in good grace sans turmoil.

This is truly one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. I am amazed. Each word has a different poem, each word seems to be filled with divine light. I deeply regret not having read these poems before, they seemed very heavy at the time, but I realized that this is real poetry.
The starting made such an impact that I am crushed under the evil. I felt like I was stuck between dreams and life in the poem, like I couldn't handle the weight of life and the real face of people and was holding on to dreams. I will put the last word to sleep in my arms.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love your take on this poem. I'm grateful to you and honored to know you.
Peace, love and harmony.

[Beren]

Hearing these from you means a lot! Have the best weekend sir!

Your dreams are carried on such dark waters, longing for that light. There are times it seems our world in coming undone. May all we need to survive grow strong within us... around us.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! So true and well articulated poet; I can't agree more. Thank you kindly for sharing.

Each moment flows into the next; color the moment with grace and strength, there is a good chance the next moment will be colored the same.

Truth and loyalty, kindness and more is what makes life manage the pain for and of many each and every day. Evil and lies strike the bell for the hordes who think they can escape dark isolation. 'We have unpaid bills due to one another - A reminder that life carries those scars' Powerful words, Sami..

[Sami Khalil]

We all need more light to dream and create a better world.

[Sami Khalil]

We sure do dear poet and friend. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this.

"let there be peace and let it begin with me". strength and courage lie in our own admissions and abilities to forgive, not revenge and payback. perhaps this ill world needs more mirrors.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love how you summed it up marvelously. Thank you so much dear poet and friend for your input and wisdom. Gracie mille.

Sami, if only we could live in and with grace, but alas, when it is possible to live life differently, to put lies and a system of evil into the dustbin of history, then why should we not fight? Will our looking out for ourselves help all those affected in the worst possible ways by this "evil" and "lies", and in the end ourselves as well? Complicity, and silence, not just acknowledges, but allows lies and evil to continue. And as history has shown us over and over, "the dust does not go away without using a broom". And it is definitely time for many brooms to be used.

Wow! So true and well articulated. I believe in fighting the good fight not the evil ones. In vocal ways or hamd ways, we should confront the true enemy within and without.
I know you and I are on the same page.
People are easily conned by sly leaders who play on their biases and prejudices; not you and I. Religious leaders do that by brain-washing the sheep.
Thank you kindly for all.
This was only dreams in the heart and heart of day, but not reality as we know it.

[redzone]

and Sami, we must dream, continue to dream and do what we can to make them real.
