The Infinite One ~ Pablo Neruda Heart of Rose Do you see these hands? They have measured the Earth, They have separated minerals and cereals They have made peace and war, They have demolished the distances Of all the seas and rivers And yet, When they roam Over you, little one, grain of wheat, swallow, They cannot encompass you, They embrace until exhaustion The twin doves That rest or fly upon your breast, They travel the distances of your legs, They coil in the light of your waist. For me you are a treasure, greater And more costly than the sea and its branches And you are white and blue and vast As Earth at Harvest Time. In that territory, From your feet to your brow, I want to spend life, Wandering, always wandering.
