Rainer Maria Rilke (4 December 1875 – 29 December 1926 / Prague / Czech Republic)

laying upon the earth, surrounded by flowers, looking at the sky while it gazes also toward you is nothing less than an intimately beautiful moment.

'Again and again', indicative of repeat activity, reflects a desire for rising above mortality through love.Others fall into the frighteningly silent abyss and become part of the sorrowing names of the churchyard.Here love is the two of us walking together, lying down among the flowers face to face with the sky and through the landscape of love we escape the depressing silence of the dead.
A pretty neat poem without complicated imagery.The repetition of the words 'again and again' is suggestive of life activity as opposed to the inertness of death and adds a musical quality to the poem.
