[b]Remembering[/b] by [b]Rilke[/b].


And you wait. You wait for the one thing
that will change your life,
make it more than it is—
something wonderful, exceptional,
stones awakening, depths opening to you.

In the dusky bookstalls
old books glimmer gold and brown.
You think of lands you journeyed through,
of paintings and a dress once worn
by a woman you never found again.

And suddenly you know: that was enough.
You rise and there appears before you
in all its longings and hesitations
the shape of what you lived.

@SW-User I wonder that too. I wonder what I might have been and could yet be other than this.

@DanielChristensen Is it a mere curiousity or a longing of some kind?

@SW-User The latter.
