باران رویاست
میان بالهای شب می خزد
به پنجره های بسته دست می کشد
و در میان رازها راه می رود
باران رویاست
آرزوها را صدا می کند
در کوچه های گذشته،قدم می زند
هیچ نمی پرسد
همه چیز را میداند...
باران رویاست
و رویاها
به بارانی شسته خواهد شد
تو نیز بارانی
میان رویاهای من،
تا صبحدم قدم میزنی
رازها را نوازش می کنی
هیچ نمی پرسی
همه چیز را می دانی...

پیش از تمام شدن سال می آیی
پیش از تمام شدن ماه
پیش از تمام شدن هفته
پیش از تمام شدن این روز
پیش از مرگ این لحظه...
پیش از این که به گریه بیفتم
سرانجام می آیی...
پیش از اینکه این شعر...more

I love Kahlil Gibran. He had such an amazing way with words. He also loved love. As the blurb on the back of this book says...
"For Kahlil Gibran (1883 - 1931), love was a way - perhaps the supreme way - of achieving self-realization and completeness as a human being."
Essentially - Gibran was a romantic at heart. I'm totally one of those sappy gals who loves being in love. This book is right up my alley.
This here is a short (about 100 page long) collection of some of his writings, short stories,...more

my own interest in Poets
It makes me think how powerful & fearless Khalil Gibran's was to have wrtten on such themes. Imagine the upraor this book must have caused in the 1900's when they were first published in Arabic. His first and target audience was the Arabic world withen which women did not have the right or the freedom to choose their own partners.These themes still exist even to this day so it is easy to relate to all his writings.A great book of short stories.
A soaring collection of poems, short stories and general musings on the subject of love. Impossible not to be inspired and swayed by Gibran's beautiful prose.
This is probably the kind of book where you have to be in love when you read it. I'm not in love for once, so as pretty as the writing was, things got kind of repetitive after a while.
After 7 years, another reading was due for inspiration and some perspective.
One of the best ...
Once you read it you realize what I mean!

3,5/5 Κλασσικός Gibran!!
Exquisite poetry.

This book ponders the ideas, ideals, preconceptions, conceptions and longings of love. Gibran is a beautiful poet and thinker. 'Sand and Foam' led me to this read.
Gibran stays close to an idea that I've also read in Song of Songs 8:7 - If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
Read the prophet first. This is a short collection of love stories and poems not all being anything especially profound.
