I love you strangers
with warm eyes
I love you poets
in your incandescent minds
I love you burglars
in the fields of flowers,
I love you women
with the certainty of your dresses,
I love you students
learning about art,
Each of you
teaches me to respect him
and so to respect myself.

I love the combination of the common with the uncommon and the introspective dénouement.  La simplicité et la répétition délicieuse me fait penser à la poésie de Jacques Prévert.

Thank you Joyce for your kind comment...
Thank you Owl, effectivement je parle français parce que je suis français. Je suis étonné qu'un sud africain connaisse cette langue...

Merci beaucoup

Differences are so enriching, dear Yann.
I appreciate this flow of thoughts. You need not to be taught how to love, as you already know how it's done, your heart shows the way.

Beautiful!

Love,
Margherita

What light you play upon simple words of
extraordinary complex;
we can steal, but not be jailed...
we can love, but not be criticized.

Exemplary, my friend. Bravo!

Yo Yann,

Nice work.  Thanks for mentioning all us people.

Yann, il y a longtemps j'ai enseigné le français pendant quelques années mais il me faut quelques minutes maintenant avant de parler couramment parce que je ne trouve plus l'occasion de parler français - où à vrai dire, je ne crée pas l’occasion parce que malheureusement je suis trop occuper à survivre.  Pour moi, les deux langues, qui sont les plus beaux au monde, sont le Français et le Zoulou.

Yann, je te remercie.  Il faut dire que ce n'est pas ma santé - ce qui est magnifique -ni ma vigueur - ce qui est abondant, malgré le fait que je mange presque rien.

C'est de trouver un travail.  C'est tellement difficile en Afrique du Sud si on a 62 ans et si on est caucasienne.

J'avais eu un travail récemment pendant presque un mois, mais il y a une semaine j'avais été renvoyée pour prendre sous ma garde les noirs pour qui j'étais le chef.  Le directeur ne les a pas payer comme il faut, et il n'était pas raisonnable avec tout le monde, surtout avec eux et il demande trop d'eux.  

Néanmoins, n'inquiétez-vous pas, parce que je fais de mon mieux chaque jour de trouver un travail et je vais le trouver, mais j'en ai besoin dès demain!
