Do Not Love Half Lovers by Khalil Gibran

I wanted to make a video on this poem for a long time and then I started my own poems on the illneas channel and I felt I missed the opportunity. Luckily I have this 2nd channel to scratch my creative itches and here it is. Super proud of the result the works featured are by 🔰Find me here 🔗 🔗 🔗 🔗 🔰References -The narrator is Wardnun Sootslayer -The music Alice In Winter - Azure 🔰Communities - - - 🔰My equipment: I film handheld with a Panasonic Lumix G80 GX80 📷Olympus Digital 45mm F1.8 Lens 🔰Do Not Love Half Lovers by Khalil Gibran Do not love half lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not indulge in works of the half talented Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half a drink will not quench your thirst Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you no where Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love It is you in another time yet in the same space It is you when you are not Half a life is a life you didn’t live, A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had A friendship you did not know To reach and not arrive Work and not work Attend only to be absent What makes you a stranger to them closest to you and they strangers to you The half is a mere moment of inability but you are able for you are not half a being You are a whole that exists to live a life not half a life
