Onward.


Lingering, even among what's most intimate, 
is not our option.  From fulfilled images 
the spirit abruptly plunges toward ones to be filled; 
there are no lakes until eternity.  Here falling 
is our best.  From the mastered emotion
we fall over into the half-sensed, onward and onward.

Rainer Maria Rilke
