Deep.

Bouguereau, Flora And Zephyr (detail), 1875

Ah vastness of pines, murmur of waves breaking,


slow play of lights, solitary bell,


twilight falling in your eyes, toy doll,


earth-shell, in whom the earth sings!

In you the rivers sing and my soul flees in them


as you desire, and you send it where you will.


Aim my road on your bow of hope


and in a frenzy I will flee my flock of arrows.

On all sides I see your waist of fog,


and your silence hunts down my afflicted hours;


my kisses anchor, and my moist desire nests


in your arms of transparent stone.

Ah your mysterious voice that love tolls and darkens


in the resonant and dying evening!


Thus in the deep hours I have seen, over the fields,


the ears of wheat tolling in the mouth of the wind.

Pablo Neruda
