Week-1-D-3-Rainer Maria Rilke-Poetry

I have faith in all those things that are not yet said.

I want to set free my most holy feelings.

What no one has dared to want

will be for me impossible to refuse.

If that is presumption, then, my G-d forgive me.

However, I want to tell you this one thing:

I want my best strength to be like a shoot,

with no anger and no timidity, as a shoot is;

this is the way the children love you.

With these ebbing tides, with these mouths

opening their deltas into the open sea,

with these returns, that keep growing,

I want to acknowledge you, I want to announce you,

as no one ever has before.

And if that is arrogance, then I will stay arrogant

for the sake of my prayer,

that is so sincere and solitary

standing before your cloudy forehead.
