Trembling...on the inside
always teetering on the edge
until my grip started to slip
dangling...
gazing into a burnt orange sky,
streams of golden
falling upon my lashes
as silence meets song
fluttering wing vibrating color
throughout land and air
making me want to catch
a feather of time
just to seize
the wonder of it all.

Author notes
"What is required of us is that we love the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us. Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are." ,
-Selected Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke [emphasis mine]
