We are made of earth and rain

According to Pablo Neruda, “We are made of earth and rain”.
At night I dream that you and I are two plants
that grew together, roots entwined,
and that you know the earth and the rain like my mouth,
since we are made of earth and rain.
Pablo Neruda, Regalo De Un Poeta, Gift Of A Poet
