Malak Kalmoni. Chehab this is beautiful Malak. Love the end of the first stanza. That last line. Two three, a squeak. I can imagine a Bob marley butterfly now singing his song of freedom from that line hehe. Optimisms loyalty. What a lovely phrase. So true how we are wearing blindnes to social pressures. Bless. What a deep write indeed. We do live in a topsy turvy world of sadness and joy sometimes. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate you dear friend. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻☺️☺️☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 By Natasha Brown
Heart’s Dialogue
Oh heart!
If you could speak
What would you say? A beat,
Two, three, a squeak,
A tweet, a butterfly’s wing
Swings in soaring flight
Letting the beats sing
Their song of freedom, bright
Diurnal light shimmers
In flight a beat of harmony
Starting within, speakers
Belt out optimism’s loyalty
To faith, Belief, humanity
Wearing blinders to pressures,
Social, career, imitators, honesty
That seems to be researchers
Of one’s identity in a world
Teaming with too much variety
Of labels that grind and bind
Our conformity into piety,
While the heart stomps
Into a tamtrum of morality
That doesn’t blend but clamps
Its hold, trying to drown your honesty.
Let your heart speak
It won’t steer you in directions
That deepen the morass that’s bleak,
Rather to happiness’ filled adulation.
