The Saddest Lines

There are times when I need to commiserate with another person's sadness.  Last week, I was reading poetry when I came across some Pablo Neruda. Reading it made me so sad, but it led into one of the best weeks.


Tonight I Can Write

Pablo Neruda


Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
Write, for example, 'The night is starry
and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.'
The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.
