What a beautiful poem...so touching, every line. I love Gibran, and also read as a teenager, the first time. To me, this starts as a dark poem, and evolves with the woman's journey. Thank you, Caro.

Thank you, Sharon! I reread books all the time. Last fall, I picked up The Prophet again and suddenly “saw” those words for the first time. I'm so glad you liked my poem.
