Despair.
the sun drowns itself
in the sea.

Désespoir
le soleil se noie
dans la mer.

Yann,

This is a cute little poem. It seems to happen every day.

Oh well there's another day coming and it will be just as beautiful in it's own way.

Very nice Yann

Hello yann. I have spoken elsewhere on these magnificent poems that I call the "Sunset Trilogy". My appreciation grows ever deeper with each reading, and I thank you again for sharing these poems that speak so truly of the human experience, through the images of the life sustaining sun.

Yann, j'aime la version francaise. La "mer" a une sonorite de plus en francais que "sea" en anglais n'a pas. Bien que la traduction est excellente, c'est parfois dans les petits details que ce trouve le pouvoir d'un seul mot. Vraiment, si l'on songe bien sur l'etat de notre planete at ces prospects, c'est beaucoup de choses dites en trois lignes. Elles sont autant bouleversantes qu'elles sont mignonnes. Mark
