I am alive because I am alone,
because birds make circles in the sky,
because trees are at war,
I am alive because you free me
from some raging storm,
because the wind writes on clouds,
I am alive because I am alone,
because the sea is my sister,
because she knows what know the children,
I am alive because I am alone,
because I hear your heart
in the shrouds of boats,
I am alive,
against walls I invent the country where you sit down,
I am alive because I am alone,
I am alive because I am a tree in your forest.

Yann,

The power of your poetry sometimes leaves me feeling a bit breathless. I felt that as I read this. You write things in a way that reach into me.

Thank you,
Alison

Almost a quantic feeling in this, dear Yann. You are in a very special relationship with all that surrounds you and you are alive ... and not alone, even though you may perceive the opposite.

A totally awesome write.

Love,
Margherita

Yann, I enjoy all your poetry, but this one, is my very, very favourite above all others.

I am sorry that you are sad and alone, but I have learned that it is better to be sad and alone without the right person, than miserable and unhappy with the wrong one.

Smiles. Animals and Nature are wonderful friends and provide great comfort, as your poem confirms. More smiles.

Yo Yann,

The idea of you as a tree in someones forest is interesting, nice, and comforting.

Yann my friend you are never alone, as a tree in the forest you are surrounded by

other trees and you have all your friends on PIP. I enjoyed your post. Take care.
