Be still – The soul
“I like for you to be still
It is as though you are absent
And you hear me from far away
And my voice does not touch you
It seems as though your eyes had flown away
And it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth
As all things are filled with my soul
You emerge from the things
Filled with my soul
You are like my soul
A butterfly of dream
And you are like the word: Melancholy”…
(Pablo Neruda, I Like For You To Be Still)

I am always touched by the depth of feeling of Neruda’s work…you compliment it very well…you are sympathetic to his soul…you know my feelings…the ones that smile )))
…I am very glad, Alan that you feel like that… (…oh, yes! of course I am smiling… inside out…)
Like a beautiful painting … Sensitive, thoughtful and touching work!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Anette!…
Such beautiful melancholy, but I hope the melancholy is a pose, or at least just a passing moment.
Thank you so much Andrew – you know, I am not a model or an actress, so I don´t pose – I just try to be…
I do believe melancholy is a passing moment, yes, and it come, and goes…like the clouds in the sky, the waves in the sea…
Yes, melancholy you look, Kari – a wonderful self-portrait, certainly benefiting from being kept as a colour picture. Adrian
