Understanding 9/11My life - a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke
Audio With External Links Item Preview
This is a beautiful and inspiring poem, written by Rainer Maria Rilke and translated into English. I've put it to music to celebrate his poetry and the human spirit...
Notes
My life is not this vertical hour
in which you find me in such haste
I am a tree in front of my own background
I am only but one of my many mouths
and the one which is the first to close
I am the silence between two sounds
that only with difficulty grow used to one another
for the tone of death also wishes to be heard
but in the darkness of the interval
they make peace with one another, trembling
and the song remains beautiful
