Inner fruit

The spiritual gift in the inner being of our souls is felt more clearly now, and I can perceive that it grows and bears fruit, that it is being given to my self, becoming stronger. It is not thinking that recognizes this power, nor is it everyday feeling. It is more like intuition, a foreboding that weaves full of light in my inner being and raises the power of selfhood. I can perceive this light as it does grow the power of selfhood in a sound way.

I feel how strange fruiting power,
Reinforcing, bestows itself on me,
The germ I perceive as ripening
And foreboding as weaving lightful
Inwardly on the power of selfhood.

Ich fühle fruchtend fremde Macht
Sich stärkend mir mich selbst verleihn,
Den Keim empfind ich reifend
Und Ahnung lichtvoll weben
Im Innern an der Selbstheit Macht.
