There is only one single way. Go into yourself. Search for the reason that bids you write; find out whether it is spreading out its roots in the deepest places of your heart, acknowledge to yourself whether you would have to die if it were denied you to write. This above all - ask yourself in the stillest hour of your nights - must I write?
Rainer Maria Rilke

Solitary

Solitary

Solitary
Like the top-most leaf
In the last tree
Before the end of the world

Softly stirring
Trembling
Grasping
In the final
Last breath of wind

With a gasp of soft
Almost silent despair
Fall, twisting, drifting
To earth
Solitary
