everything is blooming, Rilke

“Everything is blooming most recklessly. If it were voices instead of colors, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

Blossom deep down

Blossom deep down,
mountain tops swaying,
wind stretched out in rest,
the tree stands frozen.

Then suddenly a flowering,
and in my heart's center
you burn in me, tree.

Nowhere is there rest in me,
I cry out in flames,
a sea swelling in all things.

Then they too - blossom and
tree - twitch, having already
reddened with sweetness.

- Henriette Hardenberg, Südliches Herz
