Rilke wrote………………..”but for the sake of a single verse”…………..eluding to if he were able to capture the nuance and emotion……….of a single event or occurrence………………his many attempts to do so would be worth it…………

to hold that group of words in one’s head long enough to record without interfering thought or second guessing, for an artist of words………….is divine….

to cause a smile or tears to burst forth without chance of containment is the music a poet longs to hear……………………….you made me laugh, you made tears swell in my eyes are the reasons to continue and strive for ”the sake of a single verse”………………..one…….

when the mind steps aside and defers to the heart…….the victory is near……and the scars from battles previously fought……seem but a small price to pay……… to be here…..

just one…………………………..please
