Online showcase: I’m in a Window Mood

I’m in a Window Mood by Rainer Maria Rilke

I’m in a window mood today 

Life seems to consist of simply looking. 

I’m surprised by all the harmony I see, 

intelligence as great as in a book. 

Each bird that reaches into my view 

with its flight asks for my consent. 

And I give it. Inconsistency 

used to terrify, now it comforts me. 

You might find me in the middle of the night 

having spent probably the entire day 

surrendering to the inexhaustible window, 

trying to be the other half of the world.
