I love the dark hours of my being

    I love the dark hours of my being
       My mind depends into them.
  There I be found, as in old letters,
  The days of my life, already lived, and held like a legend, an understood.

Then the knowing comes: I can open
     to another life, that's wise and
                         timeless.

So sometimes like a tree rustling over
     a gravesite and making real the
    dream of the one it's living roots
                         embrace.

                A dream once lost
          Among sorrow and song.

- Rainer Maria Rilke
