Breathing: you invisible poem! Complete <br />interchange of our own <br />essence with world-space. You counterweight <br />in which I rythmically happen. <br /> <br />Single wave-motion whose <br />gradual sea I am: <br />you, most inclusive of all our possible seas- <br />space has grown warm. <br /> <br />How many regions in space have already been <br />inside me. There are winds that seem like <br />my wandering son. <br /> <br />Do you recognize me, air, full of places I once absorbed? <br />You who were the smooth bark, <br />roundness, and leaf of my words. <br /> <br /> <br />Translated by Stephen Mitchell<br /><br />Rainer Maria Rilke<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sonnets-to-orpheus-book-2-i/
