Today's poem: Poetry by Pablo Neruda
I particularly love this portion of the poem,
which so perfectly captures the experience of creative inspiration:
...something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering
that fire
and I wrote the first faint line...
(Painting above: The Angel of Forgiveness)
