Ocean




I have had two tenacious lovers in my life: Pablo Neruda, and the Ocean. Neither one has ever disappointed me.

Ocean 
by Pablo Neruda, translated by Alastair Reid


Body more perfect than a wave,

salt washing the sea line,


and the shining bird


flying without ground roots.

    1. Thanks Cindy! This was an experiment-- a watercolor base on rice paper- then colored pencil overlay in areas. I can't believe how much rice paper can withstand!
