by the sea

Buses quickly run,
Attention, don’t make you crush,

To live here is a privilege,
Houses are of good taste
And prisoners between a lake and an ocean,
If you have time
Go to walk in the botanical garden
Just a step from the curiosity of faces,

Its sand is fine and subtle,
Poets’ wealth,
The kind which comes to drink the caïpirinha
In the small common bars
After working day,

Here you do not forget the world,
It takes you in the throat,

People look at you with loyalty,
You listen to the sun
Coming down slowly
In the breath of breasts,
You are alive and your life belongs to you
Why to worry about Paris,
Of president Lula
Or of the winter which will never come?

Yes, Yann, reality is so beautiful, it leaves imagination far behind, if only we open all our senses to it.

I particularly love, "Listen to the sun."

A beautiful, sensitive poem.

Ah, to be aware and grateful for this!

Dear Yann, you have transported us to that special place of Ipanema in a very captivating way.

Love your poetic sharing of your travelling through the world.

Love,
Margherita
