On Valentine, we share with you one of our favourite poems about Love by our favourite Khalil Gibran...only Gibran could have put down the enigma of Love with such beauty...😊
"When love beckons to you, follow him,
Though his ways are hard and steep;
And when his wings enfold you, yield to him,
Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you;
And when he speaks to you believe in him,
Though his voice may shatter your dreamas the north wind lays waste the garden
For even as love crowns you, so shall he crucify you,
Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning,
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your
Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning,
Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your
tenderest branches that quiver in the sun,
So shall he descend to your roots and
So shall he descend to your roots and
shake them in their clinging to the earth.
Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself,
He threshes you to make you naked,
He sifts you to free you from your husks,
He grinds you to whiteness,
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
He threshes you to make you naked,
He sifts you to free you from your husks,
He grinds you to whiteness,
He kneads you until you are pliant;
And then he assigns you to his sacred fire,
that you may become sacred bread for God's sacred feast.
All these things shall love do unto you,
that you may know the secrets of your heart,
and in that knowledge become a fragment of Life's heart.
But if in your fear, you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure,
Then, it is better for you that you cover your nakedness
Then, it is better for you that you cover your nakedness
and pass out of love's threshing floor,
Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh,
but not all of your laughter,
and weep, but not all of your tears.
Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself.
Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed;
For love is sufficient unto love.
When you love you should not say,
'God is in my heart,' but rather, 'I am in the heart of God.'
And think not you can direct the course of love,
for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself "
So far, we have been trying to see the journey of Rajbeer & Preeto and their love story through this lens...Hope you enjoyed the poetry... Cheers! 😊
