I want to do to you what spring does with the cherry trees.
Pablo Neruda

Wakening from the dreaming forest there, the hazel-sprig sang under my tongue, its drifting fragrance climbed up through my conscious mind as if suddenly the roots I had left behind cried out to me, the land I had lost with my childhood - and I stopped, wounded by the wandering scent.

What can I say without touching the earth with my hands?
Pablo Neruda
Image
my feet will want to walk to where you are sleeping but I shall go on living.
Pablo Neruda

Oh to follow the road that leads away from everything, without anguish, death, winter waiting along it with their eyes open through the dew.

Look around—there's only one thing of danger for you here—poetry.
