55. I love #6: I suddenly remembered my Rilke

Ich finde dich in allen diesen Dingen,
denen ich gut und wie ein Bruder bin;
als Samen sonnst du dich in den geringen
und in den großen gibst du groß dich hin.

Das ist das wundersame Spiel der Kräfte,
dass sie so dienend durch die Dinge gehn:
in Wurzeln wachsend, schwindend in die Schäfte
und in den Wipfeln wie ein Auferstehn.

(The second part can be translated, roughly:

This is the wonderous game of Power,
To move so slightly through things:
Waxing in roots, ebbing through the trunks
And in the treetops, like a resurrection
