Tonight I Can Write by Pablo Neruda

This is easily one of my favorite poems of all time. Call me sentimental but there's just something about this poem that makes me want to sigh and marvel at the beauty of a "shattered" or a "starry" sky. Reading the poem is like hearing a lullaby. There is a sense of calm about this poem, something so romantic without being cheesy or fake. There is a sadness and a longing that I am so unfamiliar with, and this feeling, despite being unfamiliar, can still make me feel so alive.
