To cross with you the world's desert
To face together the terror of death
To see the truth to lose fear
Alongside your steps I walked
For you I've left my realm my secret
My quick night my silence
My rounded pearl and its orient
My mirror my life my image
And abandoned the gardens of heaven
Here out to the light without veil of the hard day
Without the mirrors I've saw I was naked
Ant to the wasteland time was called
Because of this with your gestures you've dressed me
And I've learned to live in full wind
Sophia de Mello Breyner - Sixth Book - (1962)
