Khalil Gibran
Image

Khalil Gibran

Out of my deeper heart a bird rose and flew skywards. Higher and higher did it rise, yet larger and larger did it grow. At first it was but like a swallow, then a lark, then an eagle, then as vast as a spring cloud, and then it filled the starry heavens. Out of my heart a bird flew skywards. And it waxed larger as it flew. Yet it left not my heart.
Khalil Gibran

Like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring.
Khalil Gibran

I am the lover's gift I am the wedding wreath I am the memory of a moment of happiness I am the last gift of the living to the dead I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow.
Khalil Gibran
Image
I am bored with gabbers and their gab my soul abhors them. . . . Is there any place where there is no traffic in empty talk? Is there on this earth one who does not worship himself talking?
Khalil Gibran
Image
You may give them your love, but not your thoughts. For they have their own thoughts.
