The sea is never sad, it can be whimsical
when the sun flows on her blank shoulder,
when it caresses its heart of soft boats,
and untie clouds as an accordion,

The sea does not cry on Monday, nor on Tuesdays,
it does not need to amass booties,
neither Paris to calm her vast solitude,
she dreams about islands and about bright corals,

You can tell everything to her, she listens to
only your sorrows of poets, your hearts flooded
on the animal nights or the bad books,
she listens to your voice as a maitresse,

The sea is never sad, O captains,
she is a mother who lingers to console
the children who want to go away from her
and let her streams take their agonies.

Oh, Yann, this is exquisite, in its sensitive brushstroke of every word, nuance, image, emotion, hidden story and masterful and delicate blending of the human condition and Nature. I wrapped it around me and bathed in it three times. I can only begin to imagine how beautiful it must be in the French version, which I would love to see if don’t mind.

Oh you make me long for the sea. I love this and wish I did not live in the interior. I miss the water.

thanks Diana for the kind an important words,
i post the french version :

la mer n’est jamais triste, elle est lunatique
quand le soleil coule sur son épaule vierge,
quand il caresse son coeur de doux bateaux,
et deploie les nuages comme un accordéon,

la mer ne pleure pas le lundi, ni le mardi,
elle n’a pas besoin d’amasser des butins,
de Paris pour apaiser sa grande solitude,
elle rêve des îles et des corails lumineux,

Vous pouvez tout lui dire, elle écoute seule
vos chagrins de poètes, vos coeurs noyés
par les nuits animales ou les mauvais livres,
elle écoute votre voix comme une maitresse,

la mer n’est jamais triste, O capitaines,
elle est une mère qui s’attarde à consoler
les enfants qui veulent s’éloigner d’elle
et laisse ses flots emporter leurs tourments.

have a nice day

...."love the sea very much but ftom the ground essetially"

Well, I don't swim, so essentially ... my feet better be on something solid ... so, me too, "from the ground essentially!"

This was beautiful! Kansas has amber waves of grain-not even close to an ocean. But I have seen the sea a time or two and understand your inspiration.
