Heard Your Heart Say

Tell me all I need to know, I think I heard your heart say. 

       Read this wonderful poem by Rilke and let it speak to your heart. Yet everything that touches us, me and you, takes us together like a violin's bow, which draws one voice out of two separate strings.


Love Song By Rainer Maria Rilke

How can I keep my soul in me, 
so that it doesn't touch your soul? 
How can I raise it high enough, 
past you, to other things?
I would like to shelter it, among remote
lost objects, in some dark and silent place
that doesn't resonate when your depths resound.
Yet everything that touches us, me and you,
takes us together like a violin's bow,
which draws one voice out of two separate strings.
Upon what instrument are we two spanned?
And what musician holds us in his hand?
Oh sweetest song.


Two People Fell In Love, Brad Paisley
