I believe in all that has never yet been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me
so that what no one has dared to wish for
may for once spring clear
without my contriving.
….
but this is what I need to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river,
no forcing and no holding back,
the way it is with children.
….
Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,
these deepening tides moving out, returning,
I will sing you as no one ever has,
streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.
From Rilke’s Book of Hours: Love Poems To God by Rilke by Rainer Maria Rilke
I have always loved this and used it in many programs. So vibrant with Soul!
Every time I get frustrated with myself about anything or crave to create this is what my soul wants and cries. This poem resonated deeply with me!
