I hear you Pablo

I have not written because life has been joyfully overflowing.

There has been;

Cement slab lifting
Soil mud muddying
Jetty building
Sailing
Laughter,
More laughter
Sunshine absorbing
Blue sky wondering
Observations
Paperwork
3 minute Mama Mia
Walking
47 flights of stairs
21,673 steps (since Saturday)
Fat Bobby attacks


And a beautiful poem from Pablo Neruda, for you, obviously.

I made these sonnets out of wood; 
I gave them the sound of that opaque pure substance, 
and that is how they should reach your ears. 
Walking in forests or on beaches, 
along hidden lakes,
 in latitudes sprinkled with ashes, 
you and I have picked up pieces of pure bark, 
pieces of wood subject to the comings and goings of water 
and the weather. 
Out of such softened relics, then, 
with hatchet and machete and pocketknife, 
I built up these lumber piles of love, 
and with fourteen boards each I built little houses, 
so that your eyes, which I adore and sing to, 
might live in them.
Now that I have declared the foundations of my love, 
I surrender this century to you: 
wooden sonnets that rise only because you gave them life.
