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)
