Slow Dancing in a Burning Room

Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart
and try to love the questions themselves ...
Don't search for the answers,
which could not be given to you now,
because you would not be able to live them.
And the point is, to live everything.
Live the questions now.
Perhaps then, someday far in the future,
you will gradually, without even noticing it,
live your way into the answer.

rainer maria rilke

I want to live this quote everyday, in every way that I can. Sometimes I worry in excess when I should live. Sin boldy. Be happy. Live a life of love. Life is too short for anything less.

I've Come Undone

It used to be that when we were together, you were with me
With me in every moment and every heartbeat
I could hear my name in your pulse and my kiss on your lips
Now, you're just so far away
We're together but you're still so far away
I'm trying to find my way back to you
But you retreat with each step of my advance
And I'm just so tired it seems
You'll just always be the past in my present
I want so much to be present in a moment with you
To feel the current of life running through us both
But the distance makes me weak, weathered, and worn out
Time is running out
