A Walk

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.


Translated by Robert Bly

Rainer Maria Rilke

I really like this MG...beautiful, here is another Rilke

Pathways

Understand, I'll slip quietly
away from the noisy crowd
when I see the pale
stars rising, blooming, over the oaks.

I'll pursue solitary pathways
through the pale twilit meadows,
with only this one dream:
You come too.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Time anyone please?
Ten or eleven o'clock?
Clock change confusion!

Phone had changed itself
Wonders of technology
Much sharper than me!

The Cliff

Too drunk to try
Too old to dare
Too young to die
Too tired to care

[Nee Bother]

The Bridge

Too much to drink
Too scared to give
Too slow to think
Too late to live

[Hes]

Its dark but its good. Hope its no reflection of how you are feeling NB?
