Help Me, Love Poem - Pablo Neruda

[Larry Robinson]

Help Me, Love Poem

Help me, love poem, rise up from the broken glass,
	The time to sing has come.
Help me, love poem, to reestablish integrity,
	And to sing again about pain.

The world isn’t free of war, it’s true,
	It isn’t washed of its blood, hate still exists,
	It’s true.

But it’s also certain that we’re closer to a truth.
	Violence sees itself in the mirror of the world
	And its face is not even attractive to itself.

And I continue believing in the possibility of love.
	I’m certain of that understanding among
	Human beings, achieved over pain,
	Over the broken glass.

	- Pablo Neruda
