Express yourself.....

Articulate thoughtful introductory hellos should be returned with a thoughtful reply. Thanks to those who have.
 
In the words of the great English Philosopher Sir Richard Starkey,

IT'S BEEN A HARD DAY'S NIGHT
 
a very good friend turned me on to Pablo Neruda a while back. this is one is a favorite.

I hunt for a sign of you in all the others,
In the rapid undulant river of women,
Braids, shyly sinking eyes,
Light step that slices, sailing through the foam.

Suddenly I think I can make out your nails,
Oblong, quick, nieces of a cherry:
Then it's your hair that passes by, and I think
I see your image, a bonfire, burning in the water.

I searched, but no one else had your rhythms,
Your light, the shady day you brought from the forest;
Nobody had your tiny ears.

You are whole, exact, and everything you are is one,
And so I go along, with you I float along, loving
A wide Mississippi toward a feminine sea.
