Khalil Gibran: Pleasure

"Pleasure is a freedom song,

But it is not freedom.

It is the blossoming of your desires,

But it is not their fruit.

It is a depth calling unto a height,

But it is not the deep nor the high.

It is the caged taking wing,

But it is not space encompassed.

And your body is the harp of your soul,

And it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it or confused sounds."
