I am, you anxious one. 
Don't you sense me, ready to break 
into being at your touch? 
 
My murmurings surround you like shadowy wings. 
Can't you see me standing before you 
cloaked in stillness? 
 
Hasn't my longing ripened in you 
from the beginning 
as fruit ripens on a branch? 
 
I am the dream you are dreaming. 
When you want to awaken, I am that wanting: 
I grow strong in the beauty you behold. 
And with the silence of stars I enfold 
your cities made by time. 
 
~ Rainer Maria Rilke |
