.

Already, you are mine. Rest with your dream inside my dream

LXXXI  From: ‘Cien sonetos de amor’

.

Already, you are mine. Rest with your dream inside my dream.

Love, grief, labour, must sleep now.

Night revolves on invisible wheels

and joined to me you are pure as sleeping amber.

No one else will sleep with my dream, love.

You will go we will go joined by the waters of time.

No other one will travel the shadows with me,

only you, eternal nature, eternal sun, eternal moon.

Already your hands have opened their delicate fists

and let fall, without direction, their gentle signs,

your eyes enclosing themselves like two grey wings,

while I follow the waters you bring that take me onwards:

night, Earth, winds weave their fate, and already,

not only am I not without you, I alone am your dream.

.

Pablo Neruda
