Pain by Gibran

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields. And you would watch with serenity through the winters of your grief."


.. such beautiful words by Gibran.


If only we could let pain seep into us this way, it would never bring us down. It would never weigh in our hearts, but be our anchor that holds us in place. It would be a reminder of all the good in our lives.


If only..

The Beginning

How can this be the end,

For we have only begun.

The mind knows nothing,

Except story telling.

How can this be the end,

For we still have so many

More conversations and silences,

Yet to be exchanged.

How can this be the end,

For our travels and adventures

Wait for us, patiently,

As we prepare.

How can this be the end, 

For my Heart still overflows

With every word, you have uttered

To me.

This is just, a continuation

Of how we are, and what we have,

Our lives have intertwined into each other.

And our Souls breathe as One.
