Poem for 4/7/22 - from "Sand and Foam" by Kahlil Gibran

 

from “Sand and Foam”

Kahlil Gibran

Once I filled my hand with mist.
Then I opened it and lo, the mist was a worm.
And I closed and opened my hand again, and behold there was a bird.
And again I closed and opened my hand, and in its hollow stood a man with a
         sad face, turned upward.
And again I closed my hand, and when I opened it there was naught but mist.
But I heard a song of exceeding sweetness.
