Dans le ciel il y a des oiseaux qui cherchent la direction de ton coeur ou celle de l'Egypte, des papillons impatients comme des alizés qui jouent, il y a des nuages tricotés par le temps, Les oiseaux mangent les papillons, les nuages mangent les oiseaux, le ciel mange les nuages, A force de lever les yeux vers cet ordre naturel, j'aperçois le soleil généreux, le ciel bleu de tes mains. In the sky there are birds which look for the direction of your heart or for that of Egypt, butterflies impatient as trade winds which play with hats and colored dresses, there are clouds knit by weather, birds eat the butterflies, clouds eat birds, the sky eats clouds, Due to raising eyes towards this natural order, I perceive the shining sun, the blue sky of your hands. |

C'est bien vrai - l'Ordre de la Nature est très difficile à comprendre. Mais, comme tu dis (je crois), le bon Dieu est bien plus intelligent que nous tous - et il sait ce qu'il fait! Ta poème m'a donné beaucoup de plaisir. - Owl |

C'est tres bien, Yann. It gave me pleasure on many levels, one of which is: I understood what you wrote in French, and it's been years since I studied it! It is wonderfully in tune with the natural world. |

Dear Yann, I love it in both versions. And I love the idea of seeing the beauty and harmony which flows through all things, even if we can't always grasp the reasons why it is so. Keep watching and sharing. Beautiful! Love, Margherita  |

Interesting ‘write!’… I am especially fond of images such as: That ‘cloud knitting’ weather!; Those ‘impatient’ butterflies; “trade winds … play(ing) with hats and colored dresses”; AND: “la direction de ton Coeur!” [I would describe far too many Americans via Coeur d'Alene...(which, for me, is 'sharp hearted') (just 'hard hearted' wouldn't be quite adequate...)] Applause! |

French truly is a romantic language, n'est-ce pas. Although I enjoyed both versions, je suis partial a la version a la langue francaise.  (please pardon my high school French)"Dans le ciel il y a des oiseaux qui cherchent la direction de ton coeur" ~ So beautiful!  Linda |

The imagery in this is simply lovely, and though I understand not a word of French, it just looks good. |

Hello Linda, I didn't understand, je suis partial à la version française, it means I am biased to the french version, there are barriers between languages sometimes, and that is charming, Thanks again for commenting .... warmly yann |
