Thanks, Sherry, so glad you liked the poem. Laurence Hope's poems tend to have an exotic flavour to them.

Neruda's poems seem to be very popular on SI, this one I enjoyed very much. I can't recall who, but someone posted it to me on Favorite Quotes awhile back. I thought it was beautiful and still does...

Into the sunset,afore the dusk
I walk in silence,not a care.
Wind at peace with water like glass
I think yet I do not care.

I wallow in thoughts,
Dare not spoken aloud.
And search for meaning,
Away from the crowd.

The crab it runs into surf so fast,
The days last light has nigh on passed.
To touch a hand,to see a halo of light
The time is close for pale moonlight.

The skin it shines, reflected light on water
As the moon fights new birth.
Reflections telling all,
And whispering nothing,show promise of night.

The smell of sweet jasmine envelops the soul
Drenched with the salt of tears and sea.
Awakening the spirit of the soul,
As one slips into the shadow.

No sound but the surf,
Softly,gently washing the shore.
Beauty entwined in sweet ecstasy.
It will soon pass.

No time for forever,
Grasp the moment
And forever more
Cherish the time spent.
