I'll populate this sidebar with more pizzazz, but for now let’s just get the lights on in here.

Rainer Maria Rilke, 1905

I live my life in widening rings
which spread over earth and sky.
I may not ever complete the last one,
but that is what I will try.

I circle around God, the primordial tower,
and I circle ten thousand years long;
and I still don't know if I'm a falcon, a storm,
or an unfinished song.
