The voice of dissent can be quieted ("you can cut all the flowers"), but the groundswell of change cannot be denied. People's spirits can be clouded for a time but cannot be broken over the long run. For Neruda, spring is a symbol of the power to overturn the dead husk of the old in order to sow the seeds of the new. As such, it keeps alive the vision of an equal share of the world's bounty for all.

The love people have for one another in this world is not cut off once they die. It’s not some string of yarn that snaps when someone’s soul is taken from his or her body. It rests for a time – perhaps it is even forgotten. But not by Allah (swt). That love between believers continues to exist invisibly, uninterrupted, until Allah (swt) decrees that it should resurrected once again.

Our hearts naturally attach themselves to the people that Allah (swt) has placed in our lives. And so He promises the believers that they will reunite with their loves once again:

“Gardens of perpetual residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, [saying], ‘Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home’” (Qur'an 13:23-24)

Allah (swt) soothes the pain of separation by telling us, this world is not all you get. May He reunite us with our loved ones in a place with no more separation.
