A Poem For Your Monday

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken

I believe in all that has never yet been spoken,

I want to free what waits within me

so that what no one has dared to wish for

may for once spring clear

without my contriving.

If this is arrogant, God, forgive me,

but this is what I need to say.

May what I do flow from me like a river,

no forcing and no holding back,

the way it is with children.

Then in these swelling and ebbing currents,

these deepening tides moving out, returning,

I will sing you as no one ever has,

streaming through widening channels

into the open sea

                         ~Rainer Maria Rilke, 1875-1926

I read this poem the other day and it resonated with me, so much that I wanted to share. Imagine what we could all do if we were as uninhibited as a child. I mean, I don't want to rip the bathroom apart without abandon or anything, but I do want to do those things that are deep within my heart without second thoughts. Maybe I would finally be the famous Hollywood actress that I was ment to be ;).
