Pablo Neruda

Tonight I Can Write
 
 
  Tonight I can write the saddest lines.

Write, for example, 'The night is starry
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.'

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.

Through nights like this one I held her in my arms.
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.

She loved me, sometimes I loved her too.
How could one not have loved her great still eyes.

Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
To think that I do not have her. To feel that I have lost her.

To hear the immense night, still more immense without her.
And the verse falls to the soul like dew to the pasture.

What does it matter that my love could not keep her.
The night is starry and she is not with me.

This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

My sight tries to find her as though to bring her closer.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.

The same night whitening the same trees.
We, of that time, are no longer the same.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but how I loved her.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.

Another's. She will be another's. As she was before my kisses.
Her voice, her bright body. Her infinite eyes.

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

Because through nights like this one I held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.

Faith

We often seem to live in a world where people and the belief in God clash. I have seen many things that remind me that there is a God; hoever, I do not believe God wears a face. God is in the ocean, near the beach when we feel a breeze; God is in the sunset, for we see the creator's power and strength and it is in the sound of Jazz and the Blue, and it is in the laughter and saddness of children--innocent and beautiful. We cannot ask things from God though, because it is in our power alone to seek those things and people out, and then, only then, when our hearts and minds seek Love and Compasion out, then maybe we shall find them. We tend to discover love like many babies discover their arms and legs, something that is always there, but something we must find on our own. For some may suggest that we are animals, with animalistic tendencies, however, while animals cry, only man weeps. When making love the world is forgotten; we tend to forget the moments, the hours; for when flesh is upon flesh and lips are against lips, and we feel breathless from being seduced by another--that is when we know that we have found love.
