The First Stirrings

The First Stirrings                 Sami Khalil

An English sonnet

 

The first stirrings were a mothers’ own love

The spark of life given in children’s hearts

Preceded by a gentle promise from above

Sanguine of red faces scouted in arts.

 

The second stirrings were that of learning

Setting the sights and all senses head on

Disavowing notions of tired yearning

To know of self and how the world is done.

 

The third stirrings were Valentines’ romance

 A blithe spirit and varied hot passions

Robust singing of forest walks and chance

Colors, aromas gather without sanctions.

 

The fourth stirrings were that of own death

Land grabbing bodies in sickness or health.

The journey through life Sami. So eloquently penned. From birth to death incorporating some super imagery. And of course no one knows in advance what that journey will entail. We all hope our children will have a long, happy and fulfilled life. Another fine sonnet from the King of sonnets. Have a good day dear poet.

The promise of life, but what kind of life? the happy pain of birth and early childhood to the in-between time of growing up and learning a myriad of important facts and history of events to the young marriage of true love, secrets kept yet romance blossoms...and matures....then finally the later years of wrinkles and heartbreak, and ultimate death....you covered it all Sami...and well done!
Warmly, B

This poem talks about the stages of our life:
Birth and beating hearts
Learning process after birth
Love and marriage
Death
