Gibran Love

Love can mutate
into brittle codependence
paralyzing both from
the possibility of growth

Keep  love fluid, two streams
each flowing with integrity of self
while changing course together
through communion of their hearts

 

This poem was inspired by a passage on marriage from The Prophet written by Kahlil Gibran and published in 1923:
Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
