Autumn 

The leaves are falling, falling as if from afar, 
as if withered in the distant gardens of heaven; 
with nay-saying gestures they fall. 

And in the nights falls the heavy earth 
from all the stars into loneliness. 

We all are falling. This hand there falls. 
And look at the others: it is in all of them. 

And yet there is one, who holds all this 
falling with infinite gentleness in his hands. 

- Rainer Maria Rilke - 

translation by Cliff Crego

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
