as if a bouquet of wildflowers

had come untied:
had come untied:
had come untied:
The upswing of the light ones, the bowing sway of the heavy ones
The upswing of the light ones, the bowing sway of the heavy ones
and the delicate ones’ timid curve.
and the delicate ones’ timid curve.
Everywhere joy in relation and nowhere grasping;
Everywhere joy in relation and nowhere grasping;
world in abundance and earth enough. —Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Joanna Macy and Anita Barrows
