*AL MUTANABBI*
Not everything a person desires will be attained
As the wind flows against the will of the boats
*Khalil Gibran*
It is said that before entering the sea
a river trembles in fear
*Edgar Allan Poe*
Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting
from you now
thus much let me avow
you are not
wrong, who deem that my days have been a dream
yet if hope has flown away
in a night, or
in a day
in a vision or in none
is it therefore
the less gone?
all that we see or seem
is
but a dream within a dream
I stand amid a roar
of a surf
tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
grains of the
golden sand
how few, yet how they creep
through my fingers to the deep
while I weep
while I weep
O God, can I not grasp them
with a tighter clasp
O God can I not
save one from the pitiless wave
Is all that we seen or seem
but a dream within a dream
