'O si la jeunesse savait, si la vieillesse pouvait'.
“Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

POEMS FROM YOUTH
I
Where but in the heart of innocence-
Only once would the I convert into a we
When but in the soul of timelessness
Then the one is universalised into a thee.
********
II
To have given- to have received.
To have loved - to have been loved.
This the sum total!
To face the eternal asking of "me"
To have answered "we"
The infinite odyssey of soul seeking soul.
*********
III
Inward into life once only
Forward faring freedom -----
Taking, giving, looking, seeking.
Outward out of life
Fading, fearing, fleeing, still
Ever forward faring.
