I’d like to share with you my all-time love favorites – poems and songs, and I hope you’ll enjoy them just as much as I do!
Here is a wonderful poem – called a “song” – so tender and subtle…
How shall I hold on to my soul, so that
it does not touch yours? How shall I lift
it gently up over you on to other things?
I would so very much like to tuck it away
among long lost objects in the dark,
in some quiet, unknown place, somewhere
which remains motionless when your depths resound.
And yet everything which touches us, you and me,
takes us together like a single bow,
drawing out from two strings but one voice.
On which instrument are we strung?
And which violinist holds us in his hand?
O sweetest of songs.
Rainer Maria Rilke
And a romantic piece of timeless music for you: Can’t Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley.
