Here's a wonderful poem from the great Khalil Gibran. Hope you enjoy! And cheers to 1 million subs! Never in our wildest dreams did we think the channel could reach that milestone. We can't thank you enough for all the support you've shown over the years. Eternally grateful and forever humbled, Thom & James
The problem is that people keep recommending The Prophet. When I read that book, I thought that Khalil Gibran was overrated. Now that I experienced his poetry... I realized this guy underrated.
@@bobofthestorm The prophet was khalil under netsche/shakespear influence his greatness was when he used to write in arabic these early optimistic nature loving poems of his were no match.
I am 66 years old and discovered the beautiful words and spirit of Kahlil Gibran when I was 15. I still love his words, his poetry, his spirit, and his depth.
@@harie270 belittle means to make or someone feel less important and to ridicule them. So basically this quote means that the one who makes others feel little is himself little in pride
Theres a beauty in the wave of life.The ups and downs of that wave of happy and sad gives measure to that wave so laugh,cry whatever as long as you have had the joy of the chance of that experience.
I can't explain how grateful I am ! Amidst the horrors, deaths and mental trauma that we are facing in these times of pandemic, this poem gave me a deep pleasure and a serene experience. I have also read Kahlil Gibran's Masterpiece " The Prophet". I just want to say THANK YOU ❤️
Yet why, why must some of us feel too much sorrow for us not to see the light even when it's brightest? Why was there life when it would all go wrong, with only the few great moments we get? Why cannot we get what we wish, but what we fear?
@@writingisfun9842 I think the fault lies within ourselves If we can not see the light even when we are in the light. And our lives sometimes give us hapiness as well as fears or sorrows. But, I think, we are too much affraid to count the pleasures and end up piling our experiences of sorrows. The feeling of fear is so greater that it makes us forget. But obviously there are people who are endowed with sorrows more than in general. Life is actually very mysterious and if any power we have , that is to find little happiness even when we are passing through sorrow.
Kahlil Gibran knew how to make an impact with words over such abstract concepts of the world. He had a weirdly astounding passion and understanding of life and describing it.
My dad passed 2 weeks ago from cancer. The day that this was posted I presume. I cant imagine not reading this or playing the audio at his funeral. Thank you for showing me/world a tear and a smile. 😢 😊. In loving memory of the ones we lost on this journey.
Very sorry for your loss which you've suffered. My father passed away 6 months ago from cancer and my mom 2 months ago from cancer as well..May You Be Strengthened & Comforted ♡.
Any poem that gives hope for the best, a magnificent creation of great genius! Yes, children are the joy, the flowers of life! Dreaming of children from the man I love! Great poet! I am discovering his work for the first time. Earlier I was not familiar with him and his poems filled with the deepest philosophy of life.
Praises Pray 🙏 Peace His words...after 54 years has comforted this old woman many times. I praise his ability to touch the depths of my soul. Thank you, gratefully 🙏
As music is a language without words, so is poetry a music of the heart expressed in words. Ever since l was a child l was drawn to it, particularly to those kind, with touch of sadness and melancholy. But as strange as it may sound, it brought me joy, instead of sadness, because in it l found jewels and treasures l never found in frivolous expressions of music or poetry ... When we enter realm of the quiet in deep thoughts, we find God's presence wooing us to Himself. Listening to the words of this poem was like hearing the thoughts of my own soul being read by mans voice. 🌸
"I would rather die in desire and longing than live in exhaustion and despair." This statement embodies a profound philosophy of life. It emphasizes the value of aspiration, of striving for something better, even knowing that the path may be fraught with hardships. The "exhaustion and despair" are weighed against "desire and longing," affirming that a life fully lived with passion, even if imperfect, is more valuable than a stable life lacking in meaning. This is an optimistic and emotionally charged perspective, inspiring people to pursue a true life. I love it
I heard you 100s and can listen to you 1000s more. Keep touching more souls. Keep passing the words of great heros to millions. May god bless you with good health and happiness Shane Morris. Lots of love 😘❣️
My favorite brother in law died of cancer in 1996. Craig Willard Grant. God rest his soul. He introduced me to Kahill and in turn when his son, who was 5 years old at the time of his death, I gave him a copy of the Profit, by Kahill in memory of his father. ⚘♥️🕊
Poet Kalil Gibran... Beautiful, the journey of Creator's tears ,read the Poem , and feel within the love of God for all livings. With a tear and a smile return to the Sea, is HOME yes, to go to the Ocean, of Love and beauty, to our Almighty God.❤ "I love you " God.
The first time I knew that Khalil Gibran was writing poems in English. My information is that all of his poetry is Arabic 😂🤍 But the poem is very beautiful, I love it and the Voice is expressive and wonderful 🤍
Thank you for sharing this. It’s beautiful and I’ve loved his writings n poetry since I was a teenager. My father had his books. He encouraged me to read them. I’m blessed like that.✨💝🙏🏽
This could be a depth of ones soul.♥️Yet we deceive our self’s to remain in such a state.😇We are born within a struggle.A strong pull for what our minds perceives to be a truth.Our truth is self taught.When we question that we may not know the truthThat is when we open the door to our souls true existence.❤️😇
I have been grieving a son for 3 years and a couple weeks and one day I just thought Maybe pain is not the worst feeling sit with it and feel it , talk to it , because a mothers mourning heart is a life sentence, this is truly the worst pain but thankfully I do want to heal and accept my fate , slowly but surely

Y'all deserved it
Well deserved feat.
What a big channel commenting on a small channel. 👏👽❗
I love you videos, Red.
I thought that my loneliness is a curse but now I am sure that it is a blessing cause I can feel deeper and notice much more than others
A blessing indeed.
Never alone my friend. Nothing but love for you. 1 heart 1 world
❤ me too.
❤

I know Gibran is famous but I feel like he deserves so much more fame, I would still call him wildly underrated.
I know right.
I guess because he is Lebanese
The problem is that people keep recommending The Prophet. When I read that book, I thought that Khalil Gibran was overrated.
Now that I experienced his poetry... I realized this guy underrated.

Elvis loved this man & apparently read his books 📚in the evenings. I was brought to this video by Elvis.
A Substitute teacher in my High School: Henninger Senior High School in Syracuse NY she gave me a book by Kahil Gabrin in 1985. I still have it!!
I am 66 years old and discovered the beautiful words and spirit of Kahlil Gibran when I was 15. I still love his words, his poetry, his spirit, and his depth.
“To belittle you must be little” ~Gibran
Could you please explain wat does it mean
@@harie270 belittle means to make or someone feel less important and to ridicule them. So basically this quote means that the one who makes others feel little is himself little in pride
@@bonk3810 thanks man have a great day✌️🍸
@@bonk3810 the gift finds the man attractive who stands with an empty bowl he doesn't own .
- Lewis Hyde
Explain dude
Did Gibran really say it?
For people who are in misery, loneliness, depression...this is a gem for them!❤️
A gem to everyone, you must say. Nobody is happy, but everyone is lonely.
Yup no amount of toxic positivity will get you out of depression.
A true gem with words you can't define 💎
And I'm with you 💔🙏
Theres a beauty in the wave of life.The ups and downs of that wave of happy and sad gives measure to that wave so laugh,cry whatever as long as you have had the joy of the chance of that experience.
'A tear, a kiss, a smile...These things make life worthwhile' - Old Irish song
I was thinking the same👍
Is there a song as such, would you mind sharing the title if so ?
@@neilianeisa1146Put - song, a tear, a kiss, a smile, by Josef Locke into UA-cam, that should find it. Beautiful song, enjoy! : )
@@johngalvin3124 thank you , I enjoyed
@@neilianeisa1146 My pleasure, may you always walk in sunshine : )
2:02 "With evening's coming the flower folds her petals and sleeps, embracing her longing." Such a beautiful way to describe something simple.
And so exceptional to watch..
"I would rather that I died in yearning and longing than that I live Weary and despairing."
Amazing
Perfect
I love this line so much. I cried while watching this video.
I would rather that I died in yearning and longing, rather that I live weary and despairing
We all live a longing life, as well as we die in despair. Truly we hide these thoughts. But sometimes we cannot even admit to ourselves we have them.
So deeply profound…🙏🏽
I’m not much of a poem person, but this poem speaks to my soul. I think it’s one of the most beautiful pieces of writing that I have experienced.
I thought so too, but just seems we both haven't had found the right poems
I can't believe after all this years with loneliness the world still feel hollow
Gibran still speaks so powerfully today. Anyone throughout the future will be able to read and be rejuvenated by this man's words.
Only the Genius in you,my friend,can recognise the Genius in others.
Beautiful word! How are you?
Only a goodness in you can recognize goodness in others
You guys set the mood with the background tune so well that it’s hard to imagine it’s not exactly how the poet felt
Yes, true. One must understand poetry really well to be able to do that.
I came here wanting to know the name of the song. Does anyone know it?
@@davidelias13 I hope so, soon, we will know what song this is.
The fact that my eyes swelled with tears and my face , simultaneously adorned with a smile , when I read this poem
same here
This poem hit me hard this morning ❤. Gotta remember that life is a blessing each day. And to go out and make it better for myself and others
I can't explain how grateful I am !
Amidst the horrors, deaths and mental trauma that we are facing in these times of pandemic, this poem gave me a deep pleasure and a serene experience.
I have also read Kahlil Gibran's Masterpiece " The Prophet".
I just want to say THANK YOU ❤️
I swear, you have to read "The Broken Wings" By Kahlil Gibran♡It will leave you speechless
@@anukatirkko1931 okay, definitely I will. Thank you for the suggestion.

while listening it my loneliness changed to beauty of solitude , thanks
Ur hair is a story, without looking at ur eyes.
Wish you happiness. And love!
Listing to this masterpieces on my way home 🏡. That's the sweetest moment of a lonely day .
Amen brother
It’s moments like that, that become time machines.
Perhaps also listen going to work to set you up for the day : )
Same feelings
In which book are these poems of Khalil jibran
The life of clouds is a parting and a meeting...beautiful
Gibran is a healer like no other.

Shane Morris, your voice is dark deep rich velvet holding this profound poetry with warmth and human dignity.
"Everything upon earth will perish. But the face of your Lord full of Majesty and Honor remains."
Beautiful poetry never heard this ...... 3:04
This is not a poetry, it a quote from Quran Surat El Rahman
This only fits Yeshua, Christ the King 🌸
