Heavens

Suddenly I saw
The heavens
Unfastened
And open,
Planets,
Palpitating plantations
The darkness perforated
Riddled
With arrows, fire and flowers
The overpowering night, the universe

And I, tiny being
Drunk with great starry
Void
Likeness image of 
Mystery
Felt myself a pure part of
The abyss.
I wheeled with the starts.
My heart broke loose with the wind

Pablo Neruda (1904-1973)
