The Daily Poem: Day 6 - Khalil Gibran Cento Poem (Love)

Khalil Gibran Cento Poem (Love)

Where are you, me beloved?
Open your heart to me and I shall fill it with light.
Love is a magic ray
That sings its melody to the night.

When love beckons to you follow him,
For the soul walks upon all paths.
And when his wings enfold you yield to him,
For the vision of one man lends not its wings to another man.
