Is There But One Truth
Is there but only one truth
painted above these eyes
edifying about
in those slivers of your sun
that make my way
is there but one love
where winters cease
and fires burn end to end
beyond these mountains
of white and grey
stagnant blurs that never lift
I wonder if the wind would ever blow
and answers would appear
written in the braille of your soul
but if I could not touch such soul
and read such tales
would futures fade
or would you feel the brazen breeze
and move those mountains
letting me know said truths
crackling in sparks
of a slow warming fire
#PabloNeruda

Thank you for braving Neruda, Tim. Good to see you entering the Classic comps.
This has a lively Nerudian essence to it, a questioning darkness and elusive feel that Neruda was so known for.
Best of luck in the comp.

Thanks Ahavati, his poetry is amazing and I'm honoured to try and emulate one of his pieces.

I'm not familiar with Pablo Neruda but, whatever the influence, this is remarkable work. Your own eloquence shines.
