Ancient Promises

It was yesterday we met in a dream.

You have sung to me in my aloneness,and I

Of your longings have built a tower in the sky

But now our sleep has fled and our dream is

Over, and it is no longer dawn.

The noontide is upon us and our half waking

Has turned to fuller day, and we must part.

If in the twilight of memory we should meet

Once more, we shall speak again together and you

Shall sing to me a deeper song.

And if our hands should meet in another dream

We shall build another tower in the sky.

From “THE PROPHET’ by KHALIL GIBRAN
