I live my life

I live my life in growing orbits,
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.

I am circling around God, around the ancient tower,
and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and still don't know if I am a falcon, or a storm,
or a great song.

RAINER MARIA RILKE
Translated by Robert Bly
