Kahlil Gibran

One focus sees the clear plain truth, Notes of music in mystic planes. Keep true beauty as soul knows proof, Air fond freedom in deeper vein; Hurl and curl art with wholeness bright, Live sad hollow in pleasant feel; Indulge the heart with mind and light, Love bears sorrow as spirit heals. Gain a sure flow in atmosphere, Ink and sketch well as space lives time; Bring sculptured show wise painter dear, Reach sacred tell as grand thoughts rhyme; Apt words instruct a path within, Now soul constructs pure faith unseen.

Gibran is one of my favorites. Beautifully worded.

Dear ML: Gibran's magnum opus The Prophet stands as a testimony to his written legacy. The other terrific work is Jesus Son of Man. Thank you ML for your kind words. Leon
