possible

You darkness from which I come,

I love you more than all the fires

that fence out the world,

for the fire makes a circle

for everyone

so that no one sees you anymore.

 

But darkness holds it all:

the shape and the flame,

the animal and myself,

how it holds them,

all powers, all sight--

 

and it is possible: its great strength

is breaking into my body,

 

I have faith in the night.

-----Rainer Maria Rilke
