i will look no more
for his face in coffee-shop windows
i will listen no more
for his voice at the door
i will wait no more
for his feet on the stairs
i will yearn no more
for the touch of his hand
i will look to the stars
i will listen for the wind
i will wait for the sunrise
i will smile at the snowflakes soft kiss
i will live, i will love, i will sing, i will dance
for to live is to love and i will take the chance
Lament: Rainer Maria RilkeWhom will you cry to, heart? More and more lonely,
your path struggles on through incomprehensible
mankind. All the more futile perhaps
for keeping to its direction,
keeping on toward the future,
toward what has been lost
Once. You lamented? What was it? A fallen berry
of jubilation, unripe.
But now the whole tree of my jubilation
is breaking, in the storm it is breaking, my slow
tree of joy.
Loveliest in my invisible
landscape, you that made me more known
to the invisible angels.
..... Rainer Maria Rilke, Translated by Stephen Mitchell
