Ode to hope Neruda

Ode to Hope 
~ Pablo Neruda

Oceanic dawn

at the center 
of my life. 
Waves like grapes, 
the sky's solitude, 
you fill me 
and flood 
the complete sea, 
the undimished sky, 
tempo 
and space, 
seafoam's white 
battalions, 
the orange earth, 
the sun's 
fiery waist 
in agony, 
so many 
gifts and talents, 
birds soaring into their dreams, 
and the sea, the sea, 
suspended 
aroma, 
chorus of rich, resonant salt, 
and meanwhile, 
we men, 
touch the water, 
struggling and hoping, 
we touch the sea 
hoping. 

And the waves tell the firm coast; 
"Everything will be fulfilled"
