Ich lebe mein Leben in Wachsenden Ringen



I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not complete this last one
but I give myself to it.

I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I've been circling for thousands of years
and I still don't know: am I a falcon,
a storm, or a great song?

-Rainier Maria Rilke

He is just dying to use that quote, I swear.

Fantastic poem. Is that the one you told me about last night?

I love it.

Rilke's one of my faves.
