It is a small bench in front of the ocean Plunged into its solitude of object Waiting that somebody sits down And look at the soothing and dumb streams, here I sat alone in front of the sea In front of the unlimitedness of the bitter feelings Leaving the truth to the white gulls to the shouts of the round and dumb waves And I saw that the sea ignored my sorrows And the reasons which pushed me towards her, I saw that it continued its work Without being moved by fetching boats, And on this little bench in front of the sea The sea welcomed my disturbing poverty, Consoled me of the world which tears me Restoring my confidence in tomorrow. C’est un petit banc face à l’océan plongé dans sa solitude d’objet attendant que quelqu’un s’assoie et regarde les flots apaisants et muets, seul je me suis assis devant la mer face à l’immensité des sentiments amers laissant la vérité aux mouettes blanches aux cris des vagues rondes du dimanche, Et j’ai vu que la mer ignorait mes chagrins et les raisons qui me poussaient vers elle, j’ai vu qu’elle continuait son travail sans s’émouvoir des bateaux qui bataillent, et sur ce petit banc face à la mer elle a accueilli ma troublante misère, m’a consolé du monde qui me déchire me redonnant confiance en l’avenir.

Wonderful imagery, yann I feel as though I could sit on that small bench and pour my heart out to the sea. Ida |

D’abord, je remercie la mer de t’avoir redonné la confiance en l’avenir, et deuxièmement, je te remercie de nous avoir donné ce trésor. Je te vois clairement où tu es, sur ce banc devant la mer, partie d’un tableau magique d’un Monet d’aujourd’hui. Owl |

Your words allowed me to sit next to you on this small bench in front of the sea, sharing your thoughts, your visions, your tunes ... and I felt comforted, knowing that we are never alone in coping with life and that tomorrow is born out of our trust in love. Wonderful write, dear Yann! Love and hugs. Margherita |

Creative and imaginative. I think the ocean surely is a good listener sometimes to our heartaches. Enjoyed the read. Anoo |

merci beaucoup diana, oui je me suis assis sur ce banc et j'ai essayé de me libérer de mes soucis, parfois incompréhensibles, c'est comme ça, il y a des hauts et des bas et par moments il faut savoir regarder la mer, amitiés yann |

"And on this little bench in front of the sea The sea welcomed my disturbing poverty, Consoled me of the world which tears me Restoring my confidence in tomorrow." I think the ghost of Pablo Naruda was whispering in your ear when you wrote this.. I hear his voice speak each of the poems words to me.. Very well done...throughly enjoyed |
