Certain days, I look at things,
as if I was not going to see them again,
the coskittle-alleys which make blue rounds,
the boats which fix stars...

Even starlings have things to say,
on the world dipped on night,
the sea, itself , is a big bird of paper
who beats the winter of its frosted wings.....

Certain days the silence himself made noises,
the houses join clouds in heaven,
people only want to be less heavy
than their shoes and memories....

Certain days I look at things,
as if I was not oing to see them again,
they become then extraordinary,
and my heart is full of friendship for them ......

Dear Yann, this is exquisite and very moving in a way, a matter of awareness of how precious time is. I will read this again, I love the depth of thought and the imagery very much.

Love,
Margherita

Yann,
This hit me like a ton of bricks

"people only want to be less heavy
than their shoes and memories...."

Wish I'd written that!

2Islander2,Enjoyed. I think some memories do weight us down. We need to be careful and not remember some things and focus on the beauty around us at the time. Best to you,Jo Perry

I see things this way sometimes too, yann.
Just suddenly a new prospective on life and sometimes I feel it slipping away. You have summed it up very well.
