A collection of poems and parables by one of my favourite authors of one my favourite books, The Prophet. 
 Themes and topics vary widely and range from religion, politics, joy, sorrow, life, immortality, self-awareness, death and war, to name a few. Not unlike the writing style of The Prophet, his use of words are sparse and minimal, but convey latently hidden meanings for contemplation. 
 Someone wrote that Gibran's writings are not meant to be analyzed but to be felt. I agree with this sentiment. More than this, his words seep into you and will give you moments for reflection long after you are finished with the book.
