There where the waves shatter on the restless rocks <br />the clear light bursts and enacts its rose, <br />and the sea-circle shrinks to a cluster of buds, <br />to one drop of blue salt, falling. <br /> <br />O bright magnolia bursting in the foam, <br />magnetic transient whose death blooms <br />and vanishes--being, nothingness--forever: <br />broken salt, dazzling lurch of the sea. <br /> <br />You & I, Love, together we ratify the silence, <br />while the sea destroys its perpetual statues, <br />collapses its towers of wild speed and whiteness: <br /> <br />because in the weavings of those invisible fabrics, <br />galloping water, incessant sand, <br />we make the only permanent tenderness.<br /><br />Pablo Neruda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-ix-there-where-the-waves-shatter/
