Tower Of Light
By: Pablo Neruda

O tower of light, sad beauty

that magnified necklaces and statues in the sea,

calcareous eye, insignia of the vast waters, cry

of the mourning petrel, tooth of the sea, wife

of the Oceanian wind, O separate rose

from the long stem of the trampled bush

that the depths, converted into archipelago,

O natural star, green diadem,

alone in your lonesome dynasty,

still unattainable, elusive, desolate

like one drop, like one grape, like the sea.

O tower of light, sad beauty
Whose eye shines like a lonely star in the sky.
Whose beauty can be seen,
From a mile away.
Standing alone,
Your feet trapped in the ground,
Waiting motionless,
Standing still,
Shining in your lonely as if you were waiting,
Waiting patiently for something to happen.

The Light Wraps You

By: Pablo Neruda

The light wraps you in its mortal flame. 

Abstracted pale mourner, standing that way 

against the old propellers of the twighlight 

that revolves around you. 

Speechless, my friend, 

alone in the loneliness of this hour of the dead 

and filled with the lives of fire, 

pure heir of the ruined day. 

A bough of fruit falls from the sun on your dark garment. 

The great roots of night 

grow suddenly from your soul, 

and the things that hide in you come out again 

so that a blue and palled people 

your newly born, takes nourishment. 

Oh magnificent and fecund and magnetic slave 

of the circle that moves in turn through black and gold: 

rise, lead and possess a creation 

so rich in life that its flowers perish 

and it is full of sadness.

The light wraps you in its mortal flame.
It moves around you almost snake like.
Constricting you in its forever glow.
Slithering ever so silently. 

So simple, and yet so powerful.
Your skin begins to shine in its light,
But no matter how powerful the flame becomes,
It shall never shine as bright,
As your spirit within.
