ART - Poem in Your Pocket Day

"I know the place.
It is true.
Everything we do
Corrects the space
Between death and me
and you."

#rilke, #poetry, POEM for all - Rainer Maria Rilke from Book for the Hours of Prayer

I live my life in growing orbits 

which move out over the things of the world. 

Perhaps I can never achieve the last, 

but that will be my attempt. 

I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, 

and I have been circling for a thousand years.

And I still don't know if I am a falcon, 

Or a storm, or a great song. 

- Rainer Maria Rilke / 1899

from Book for the Hours of Prayer

Translated by Robert Bly
