Oh! heart, if one should say to you that the soul perishes like the body, answer that the flower withers, but the seed remains. That is the law of God. - Kahlil Gibran
I love the works of Kahlil Gibran and I feel that through his writings, he found the true meaning of life. I guess that is what every writer aspires to do, to delve into the abyss of their hearts to find beauty and the truth of life that they can share with the world. Gibran is regarded as a literary hero and a rebel and I guess that is as close as we can get to describing someone who has contributed immensely to our literary world. I just wanted to share a really small piece that I wrote sometime ago ( its not a poem or anything close). Its just a piece of my mind that I wanted to share. Its about the struggles that I face everyday, as a girl and mostly as an individual in this crazy world where everyone is so distinct from each other.
I struggle to be a real woman everyday.
Never forgetting God almighty.
Those who follow him will walk with their heads held high, never forsaken.
Under his wings, we will all fly, higher than we have ever imagined, reaching undefined expectations.
It hurts real bad when we push the button and not attain karma, it feels like a piece of you has been snatched away from you.
I go blind during those soul searching moments.
Momentary flashes of life wherein lies things we dont want to face.
I refuse to be a role model to those fickle-minded people who dont know the meaning of life!
