…
day after day:
bright,
wretched,
endlessly fragile.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke, from The Poetry of Rilke; “Sonnets to Orpheus”

…”Endlessly fragile.” That captures it all, doesn’t it?
Right there.
and yet we continue in much the same way we have for so long…
We do. We do.
Picture so still
as if unreal at will
no breathing
no pain
no ripples
no tears
no fears…
more docile than fragile
Yes! Beautifully captured.
yes, endlessly fragile….
