Kahlil Gibran

He sits upon the lap of nature to draw his inspiration
and stares up in silence of nights waiting the descending of spirit.

Yet some people deny themselves his radiance.
Those spirit ascends and fill the firmament with beautiful sayings.

Poet, you are the life of this life.
and you have triumphed over the ages despite their severity
one day you will rule their hearts
therefore your kingdom has no endings

sows the seeds of his heart in the prairies of affection
and humanity reaps the harvest for her nourishment.
(Poets, playwrites, musicians,
appreciation of love and beauty)

How long shall they ignore those who enable us to see?
how long shall they ignore the living?
Until when human beings morn the dead and forget the living
who spend their lives encircled in misery
and who consume themselves

continue to glorify those who attained greatness by moments of advantage.
Beauty of their spirit; symbol of peace and love.
Like burning candles to illuminate the way for the ignorant
and lead them into the path of light
