Da SUMMER 2009

Time and Again
TIme and again, however well we know the landscape of love, and the little church-yard with lamenting names, and the frightfully silent ravine wherein all the others end: time and again we go out two together, under the old trees, lie down again and again between the flowers, face to face with the sky.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Da SUMMER 2009

Is She Found?
Yesterday we walked apart Separate and cold and mortal. Now the sacred kiss has joined us, Now we stand inside the portal
That permits of no returning And my heart is burning, burning.
I know not what the word may be, Or what the charm, or what the token That has filled us with this glory, But never let the spell be broken;
Let it stay a mystery For all times to be.
Yesterday, with lighter joys We wantoned at the outer portal. Now, with love's old alchemy We have made ourselves immortal.
