Thank you very much for reading my favourite poem! Your doing so was so nice that it froze and crashed my discord, pretty much as soon as you started :p so I missed that you liked it, and asked some questions. I'm glad you found some meaning in it! I have, too. It's not from a religious text, really, but it's written like one. It's from a book called 'the Prophet', which is like a series of poems that are written as though they're the words of some wise man. Kahlil Gibran is a Sufi poet, which is this kind of mystical branch of Islam that has produced super awesome other poets too, like Rumi, Hafiz, and Omar Khayyam. This kind of poetry talks a lot about God as though he's your lover, and also lots of poems about getting drunk as a metaphor for the mystical experience... so good stuff, all round. I like that it's a tradition that doesn't separate 'earthly' things from the sacred, which makes good sense to me.
