• An absolute
  patience.
  Trees stand
  up to their knees in
  fog. The fog
  slowly flows
  uphill.
  White
  cobwebs, the grass
  leaning where deer
  have looked for apples.
  The woods
  from brook to where
  the top of the hill looks
  over the fog, send up
  not one bird.
  So absolute, it is
  no other than
  happiness itself, a breathing
  too quiet to hear.

  Denise Levertov

  Breathing, White, Apples

• Maybe nothingness is to be without your presence, without you moving, slicing the noon like a blue flower, without you walking later through the fog and the cobbles, without the light you carry in your hand, golden, which maybe others will not see, which maybe no one knew was growing like the red beginnings of a rose. In short, without your presence: without your coming suddenly, incitingly, to know my life, gust of a rosebush, wheat of wind: since then I am because you are, since then you are, I am, we are, and through love I will be, you will be, we will be.

  Pablo Neruda
