When, with you asleep

When, with you asleep, I plunge into your soul,
And I listen, with my ear
On your naked breast,
To your tranquil heart, it seems to me
That, in its deep throbbing, I surprise
The secret of the center
Of the world.

It seems to me
That legions of angels
On celestial steeds
- as when, in the height
of the night we listen, without a breath
and our ears to the earth,
to distant hoofbeats that never arrive -
that legions of angels
are coming through you, from afar
-like the Three Kings
to the eternal birth
of our love --
they are coming through you, from afar,
to bring me, in your dreams,
the secret of the center
of the heavens.

Juan Ramon Jimenez, 1881-1958

[another very favorite]
and yours--
The Silent Moment-
-
-haunting.
-
-
[silence]
-
-
haunting pensive splendor.

A Book

Thinly crushed wood,
Flat black symbols,
Binding fiber strings,
Between cardboard doors.

~Ruth Griffin
