Thoughts on Pablo Neruda’s “Saddest Lines”

This morn, I can write the saddest lines.

Lines that would make Neruda weep,

for kindred souls that feel loss

seek each other,

find each other,

speak to each other.

In the distance the birds are singing,

and I seek the wind for my words

to carry over the miles,

beyond her surface denials

and fill her soul with smiles

as I once did.

The blue stars shiver in the distance,

trembling with still felt passions

in the endless skies

as I sit and write

thinking of her eyes.
