I'm All

We are only human...

I’m All                                by Sami Khalil

I’m passages, conduits, vessels-

perambulating through,

coursing within,

sailing across waves,

chasing out captured moments;

whatever propels me

through life-that exists,

in every way, shape or form.

On a landscape of hatless thoughts,

there I’m… on the path of ten thousand things,

seen and unseen,

poking through fires,

wiping off sweats,

canoeing attidunal sentiences,

suspending floating judgements.

I’m only human, head to toe,

through and out, over and in,

upon the domain-

of beaten paths, crumpled papers, blinking horizons

in tip-toe visions. I’m all!

Yes, Sami, we are Vulnerable to all the Circumstances that come along. Our attitude can make a difference in other peoples lives.

I really like poems that are packed with poetry! This poem is. Wonderfully explained and expressed.

"Chasing out captured moments," fave line.

Wowzy! Thank you kindly dear poet and friend for this marvelous review. Glad you like it. See you soon.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

Sami, I also like the concept of "hatless thoughts." We try to be it all and want it all! Sometimes we make it, and sometimes we have to settle that we don't make it! As always very a poem that is penned well!

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! So glad you like it. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort. All rich blessings.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

My pleasure!

[Lydia Shutter]

Yes, you are all those things and a bag of chips, Sami! :) Your choice of vocabulary here is admirable. I love the concept of "hatless thoughts"...as if your thoughts can reach the sky without the seatbelt of a hat! Very well written. Lydi**

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy! You are amazing. You are the first to notice that concept and it is admirable. Some people skip things in reading and don't enjoy the real juice of art. I know you are a lover of art , too. Thank you kindly for all.

[Lydia Shutter]

And, yes, the artwork you chose to accompany your words is great! I don't skip a word. I like to enjoy them all! :)

[Sami Khalil]

All true and wonderful. Keep the blessings coming.

[KAREN]

Yes, indeed we are only human and want it all. We try with all our might to push through and do everything we can, but only to fall short. This is a nicely crafted poem my friend!

[Sami Khalil]

OMG! Another great take on this poem. So true and well said. Thank you so much Karen for the time and effort. See you in a jiffy.

[KAREN]

My pleasure, friend!

first off, the accompanying pic stopped me in my tracks - those piercing eyes making me want to confess all of my human weaknesses and shortcomings. indeed, we are all a lot of different things - a sort of pot luck. so poignant and well said - causes me to stand at attention with my head hung low. so honest and memorable. impactful ... :)

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! I love your awesome sumnation:"Pot Luck."
You are so astute sir Pete. Thank you kindly for all.

[Carlos Lorenzo Estrada]

I feel I have traveled a lifetime in moments after reading this remarkable piece, my friend. The travails of life and its bumpy road is steep with choices meant to shorten the journey or lengthen it. It is indeed a ride that is specific to us individually, and yet fleeting in its brevity compared to the universe itself. Excellent work my friend.

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy! I love the absolute truth and wisdom you share with us dear poet and friend. You put things in great perspective. So glad to see you visit and share. I hope all is well in your neck of the woods. See you soon.

yes, we are only humans...we try to do it all...but often fall short in our attempts...
but why not go for all we can?
I tend to just let life propel me now in my older age. As a youth, I was always trying to run the engine myself, use mapquest to find my goals.
Now I just float along with whatever happens.

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! You are amazing sir Jacob. I love how you sum up life in a great perspective. It is true we change our goals with age. We mature more and see things from different angles. I hope to meet you one day to shake your hands. Glad you are still going strong and healthy.
Your mind is sharper than any youth
