Khalil Gibran


Where are you leading me ,oh enchanting
houri,and how long shall I follow you
Upon this hispid road,planted with
Thorns?How long shall our souls ascend
and descend painfully on this twisting
and rocky path ?

Like a child following his mother Iam
Following you,holding the extreme end
Of your garment,forgetting my dreams
And staring at your beauty,binding
My eyes under your spell to the
Procession of spectres hovering above
Me,and attracted to you by an inner
Force within me which I cannot deny.

Halt for a moment and let me see your
Countenance;and look upon me for a
Moment;Perhaps I will learn your
heart's secrets through your strange
Eyes.Stop and rest.for I am weary,
And my soul is trembling with fear
Upon this horrible trail.Halt ,for
We have reached that terrible crossroad
Where Death embraces Life.


Padadhyanam man ,Padadhyanam!!!!
