Pablo Neruda

Oh unruhige Welt, höre seinen Gesang, vom rauschenden Ozean bis zur weiten Kette der Anden Erhabenes Macchu Picchu, hier wandelt sein Geist zwischen den Nebelbänken des Urabamba und den eisigen Höhen der Berge Du hattest viele Leben, den für ein einziges war keine Zeit. Deine Worte klingen in mir mit der Melancholie verlöschender Sterne Der Pöbel, der dich verletzte, ließ dir keine Zeit mehr zum Dichten, deine Lieder aber in uns werden niemals erlöschen Oh troubled world, hear his voice, from the soothing sounds of ocean's surf to the wide rangeof the Andes Sublime Macchu Picchu here his spirit strolls between the foggy banks of the Urabamba and icy heights of the mountains You had many lives, as for only one there was no time. Your words sound in me with the melancholy of dying stars The mob who hurt you, did not give you the time for new verses, but your songs in us will never cease ¡Oh mundo intraquilo, oír su voz! De los sonidos suaves de las olas del océano hasta la altura de vasto Andes Sublime Macchu Picchu aquí su espíritu deambula entre los bancos de niebla de la Urabamba y heladas alturas de las montañas Ha tenido muchas vidas, como para una solo no había tiempo. Sus palabras suenan en mí con la melancolía de estrellas moribundas La plebe que te hizo daño, no te dará el tiempo para nuevos versos, pero tus canciones en nosotros nunca jamás expirarán

You're very brave - I would be terrified! What a pity we're so far apart - Sue and I would love to hear you reading your poems. Have a great day. Love from Jack

You have refreshed my memories of Macchu Picchu I visited in the year 2003. One of my very favorite writer Pablo Neruda. I have also written a poem as a tribute to him on PS

It was not long ago that I first learned about Neruda, Gert. There was a contest her to write a poem about him. I did not enter, but found his contributions to be quite remarkable when doing research on his life. I think you have captured his life and legacy beautifully! Love, Carolyn

Beautiful words, Gert. I really love the way you write in three languages. I've only ever written a short one act play (as part of a creative writing course), but it was great fun. Do you still write plays? Did you ever submit them, by the way? Maybe you've written a classic - it would be a pity for it to remain in a drawer somewhere for ever! I've never submitted mine, though! Would you consider partnering me on the What love means to you contest? I think it would be fun : ) Have a great day.
