Michael Shepherd - 0048 On First Reading Rilke

Out of the cage
you had not known you were in
with a freedom
beyond what you thought it to be
into the spaciousness
which was boundless
and a joy
which redefined itself day by day
around a firm centre
which was everywhere



for Joanna

Michael Shepherd
