A poet is a bird of unearthly excellence, who escapes from his celestial realm arrives in this world warbling. If we do not cherish him, he spreads his wings and flies back into his homeland.
Khalil Gibran

There are those who give and know not pain in giving, nor do they seek joy, nor give with mindfulness of virtue They give as in yonder valley the myrtle breathes its fragrance into space.
Khalil Gibran

Khalil Gibran
Image
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran
Image
From a sensitive woman's heart springs the happiness of mankind, and from the kindness of her noble spirit comes mankind's affection.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Poetry, my dear friends, is a sacred incarnation of a smile. Poetry is a sigh that dries the tears. Poetry is a spirit who dwells in the soul, whose nourishment is the heart, whose wine is affection. Poetry that comes not in this form is a false messiah.
Khalil Gibran
Image
Sow a seed and the earth will yield you a flower. Dream your dream to the sky and it will bring you your beloved.
Khalil Gibran
Image
You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heart of life.
Khalil Gibran
