Love one another, but make not a bond of love. <br />Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. <br />Fill each other's cup, but drink not from one cup. <br />Give one another of your bread, but eat not from the same loaf. <br />Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone. <br />Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. <br />Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. <br />For only the hand of life can contain your hearts. <br />And stand together, yet not too near together. <br />For the pillars of the temple stand apart. <br />And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.<br /><br />Khalil Gibran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-one-another/
