"Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving" Kahlil Gibran I love reading the poetry and philosophy of Kahlil Gibran. Gibran was a Lebanese-American artist, poet, and writer. The prophet is one of his famous works.. He is apparently the third best-selling poet of all times, behind Shakespeare and Laozi. Have you read Gibran's work anytime? Do you enjoy reading dramatic prose poetry?

@sofssu He is so wise. I love this quote of him "Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms."

@wiLLmaH That is just a line from him.. you can make an entire book of quotes from his work The Prophet alone.

Way back in college we were obliged to read as much as we could but I don't know if I ever read Gibran. Maybe I'd search online to read his works. It looks like worth reading.

No, I have never read Gibran's work, I like poetry more than prose.

Gibran's prose poetry is one of the finest poetry you'll ever find. His collections is one of my go to books when I want to read something and put myself in a mood to do stuff. I seem to always find myself turning to his philosophy and poetry when I am tied up in bed and bored. Its one of those books I have gifted the most to my friends.

I haven't read his poetry since College. Now I'm going to have to dust off that poetry book. I remember loving his work.
