Hello Everyone! Just wondering if any of you are interested or have ever read any of this great mans work. He is astounding and I would love to hear from anyone who enjoys his poetry. I love to get e-mail from people with different views on poetry and music art ect. Love to hear from you. If any of you haven't heard of R.M Rilke hear is just one of my favorites...."I live my life in growing orbits, which move out over the things of this world. Perhaps I can never achieve the last, but that will be my attempt. I am circling around God around the ancient tower...and have been circling for a thousand years. I still do not know whether I am a falcon, storm or a great song. R.M Rilke

Robert James Waller (author of Bridges of Madison County) liked this poem enough to put it in one of his books, I think it was Old Songs in a New Cafe.
