Even if the choice of flowers in October may seem unusual or wrong, however it is in october that Pablo Neruda sets the poem chosen for the month. in the poem he invites all of us to marvel at the simple yet profound beauty of existence.
Through the delicate emergence of flowers from barren sand, Neruda invites us to ponder the enigma of existence itself. This ode serves as a whispered reminder of life’s inherent mysteries, urging us to seek solace and inspiration in the boundless depths of the natural world.
ODA A UNAS FLORES AMARILLAS
Contra el azul moviendo sus azules,
el mar, y contra el cielo,
unas flores amarillas.
Octubre llega.
Y aunque sea
tan importante el mar desarrollando
su mito, su misi?n, su levadura,
estalla
sobre la arena el oro
de una sola
planta amarilla
y se amarran
tus ojos
a la tierra,
huyen del magno mar y sus latidos.
Polvo somos, seremos.
Ni aire, ni fuego, ni agua
sino
tierra,
s?lo tierra
seremos
y tal vez
unas flores amarillas.
