by the sea

The sea will continue to rock the white sand
Rocks will still be sentinels
When the centuries will have slowly passed
On my courtship with too beautiful girls,

I shall have died for a long time regrettably
And the house white with squat fishermen
Who sold on Sundays any sorts of ice creams
Will have disappeared too of stony roads

As my memories looking like waves
so early come so early left in the dressed light
Of a summer when on the sand everybody raves
Not to take seriously the lived things,

But right now it is necessary to continue to write and
To love because the sea when I shall not be any more there
Will continue to erase on the sand other steps
Disappearing too from my fullfilled wishes

As a Breton beach subjected to the plays of sky.

I love this, Yann - the beautiful images, and the interesting perspective of future nostalgia!

I am suprised this has only one comment, it is really a wonderful write. I agree whole heartedly with Owl about imagery and the unique perspective. I enjoyed it very much.

Oh my, dear Yann!! Your words pierce my heart and it swells with tears of understanding.

Awesome write and especially wise and beautiful conclusion!

Tu as touché mon coeur!

Love,
Margherita
