Ode To Pablo Neruda

Take me. . . Float me. . . to your Macchu Picchu. Swirl me with your images surreal. Show me nights, like those where stars shine blue and she is not with you. . . so I might feel that beauty born “between the hill and river” and the loneliness your saddest poems reveal.

congrats on your contest win andrea (I don't understand why brian's contest placements always jump from first place to third with no second place?) anyway, I love this one; pablo neruda is a wonderful poet and in this you've really captured the essence of him and his work :-)
