Khalil's work- an inspiration

It was a while ago, when I was first introduced to Khalil Gibran's works. No doubt my first impression was that of amazement and wonder at such inspiring and beautifully penned poetry & writing. but I realize that as I revisit his works over time, I take away different perspectives, new understanding of his wordplay along with the absolute sense of beauty his writings evoke in me.
This below excerpt is from his famous work 'The Prophet' (1923)

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.
You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.
