ever widening

i live my life in
widening circles
that reach out
across the world
i may not complete
this last one but
i give myself to it...

-rainer maria rilke (1875-1926)

reflection on a summer day

today the summer has come
at my window with its
sighs and murmurs...
now it is time to sit quiet,
face to face with thee,
and to sing dedication of life
in this silent and
overflowing leisure

-rabindranath tagore (1861-1941)

flame of love

you are blazing
at my core,
sweet flame of love
i am not
separate from you
