A Walk by Rilke

A Walk

My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has inner light, even from a distance-

and charges us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a gesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.

Rainer Maria Rilke

---------------------------------------------------------

Zhulixin Rejoinder :

Your eyes do not reach me
in whole vision, blazing reality of sun
its touch all existence
what distance, what road to take ?

What the pure hearts had grasped
yearning for eternity, beauty and love
we cannot grasp sensory images
as the oil cannot see itself burning
light upon light, illuminated and free

subtle awareness dawned sunset
time gone bye the waves of majesty
hit our shores scattering our sands
obliterating footprints of the Way

Wind in our faces give another hope
that our spirits became wings
soaring exhaustedly over mountains
of daily existence embracing Oneness
beyond and sweet surrender !
