Acrostic for a Beautiful Poet

Knower of God’s lingua franca;
Hallmark of man when he is whole;
Alter ego of my wisdom;
Lo and behold the great Prophet!
Infinite, beloved, you stand
Like a sublime angel, aware.

Graceful, flowing, your soul was pure.
Inside your flesh, nothing was weak.
Basking in your words, I feel calm.
Raging storms turn into sunshine
And harmony is found within.
Never will I forget your name…

…Khalil Gibran.

Michelle,
Khalil Gibran wrote a fantastic book called "The Prophet" followed by "The Garden of the Prophet". He was an awesome writer and poet, and he wrote in Arabic, French, and English.

Marge, thanks for the comments.

Take care
