Beautifully Said

From Pablo Neruda...  some words changed by me.

IV
You will remember the lapping of the waves
where sweet emotions began
and sometimes a bird, wearing water
and slowness, its winter feathers.

You will remember those gifts of your body;
indelible scents, silken edges,
trunks rising around us as wind whipped
magical moments like thorns

You'll remember the moments you took,
park benches and sculptures
reaching out in unfettered
like you wished to

That time was like never, and like always.
So we go there, where nothing is waiting;
We find everything waiting there.

...... I love Pablo Neruda's words and emotion.  As I thought on a moment of great significance in my life I thought how to communicate this using words.  Using words as I move on with my heart, my head conjuring phrases to capture and immortalize the moment....
