Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet (The Razor Edge Of Self-Knowledge) By Julian Colgan

(The Razor Edge Of Self-Knowledge)
Self-knowledge is all of those days
spent in the silence of your heart.
When your ears pursue the steady
beating of your heart's knowledge,
words of wisdom are bound to your lips
 and all that was known by others
 is now known by you.
If the infinity of your soul
were to sing with the ocean's roaring waves,
the scales of impermanence
would not be able to measure or weigh
the profundity of your soul's treasure bound eyes.
Unable to outlive the beginning and end of self-knowledge,
you are as boundless as every truth naturally is.
Finding a truth and finding a path to follow,
your soul's quest for beauty
is never straight and never curved.
Unfolding like an unending lotus flower,
count no more the steps you take,
for in one step is every step.
