“You know how this is if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything brings me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me”
— Pablo Neruda

Simplified Meaning:
Imagine you have a close friend or partner who means a lot to you. Whenever you see certain objects or experience particular moments, they remind you of this person. For instance, spotting a beautiful moon, watching the leaves change color in autumn, or feeling the warmth of a fire can trigger memories or feelings connected to them. It's like everything around you, no matter how small, ties back to your feelings for that special someone. Think of each sight, smell, or sound as a tiny boat sailing towards this person, connecting you to them no matter where they are. This idea can help someone appreciate and recognize the deeper connections they have with loved ones in everyday life.
