A Poem: She loves you

 by Benjine Gerber

Her love is eternal
She is all the love in one
She is all your needs content
- regard the love you share

She is vulnerable
She embodies your fear
She is in doubt and delusion
- release her into your heart

Two longing hearts
Her joy is your freedom

Her essence is the master key
She puts your heart at ease

Yours through all the senses
Every expression even pain

Delightful reason to live,
Nourishment and rest.

Now you and she are
by no means apart.

She gives,
She holds on,
She completes.

Always there,
her loving touch,
her hidden grief.

Deeper,
ever deeper,
in union.

Love her
in return.

The Prophet

This must be one of the most inspirational books of all time. On a daily basis quotes from it are shared between friends and associates to provide comfort and encouragement for handling daily events.

This inspired me to embark on an artistic journey with this book to exhibit what the poems mean to me in other formats, such as the word-cloud on the right, 26 individual artworks and readings which are accompanied with music created to fit each one of the poems.

The word-cloud consists of the 82 most commonly used words in the book. The size of each word reflects the relative frequency of the use of the word.

Here's a snippet on Joy and Sorrow:

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked...
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain...
I say unto you, they are inseparable.
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed.
