I Live My Life In Growing Orbits

Posted by radiatingblossom on

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 ~~
