As you once found me

.

.

As you once found me,

I was small, so small

yet blooms appeared

Just be quiet within yourself.

.

I was a nameless and small

and longed  so deeply

until you said that I am too big

for any name:

.

For, it seems,  I am one

with myth, with May, and with the sea,

and like the living fragrance of the wine

that strengthens the soul ...

.

Rainer Maria Rilke 

from The Early Poems
