I believe in all that has never yet been spoken by Rainer Maria Rilke

I believe in all that has never been spoken.
I want to free what waits within me

so that, what no one has dared to wish for

may for once spring clear 
without my contriving.

If this is arrogant God, forgive me
for this is what I want to say.
May what I do flow from me like a river, 
no forcing and no holding back, 
the way it is with children.

Then in the swelling and ebbing currents, 
these deepening tides moving out, returning, 
I will sing you as no one ever has, 

streaming through widening channels
into the open sea.
