Sand is sliding in my hands
And always drops down to my feet.
Everything I touch disappear,
Nothing begins but it is the end.
Everywhere, I look. I contemplate each shade.
I tighten my arms to grab it but close up my hands
On the cold, the emptiness and the sadness is immense
When I open my eyes, I can’t see a thing anymore.
My legs also give away, and like this,
I approach of the sand and the turquoise
Which surrounds me and sparkles till the infinite.
Blue, blue everywhere on the dark slate.
I would like so much to capture this color, to keep it.
But like others things, it’s running between my fingers
And sliding on the sand to disappear in the immensity
While the horizon is floating everywhere around me.
Azure of the air makes me drunk and intoxicates me like the liquor
Of madness fruits. It firmly settles in me and abounds
The water streams, runs with vigour and floods me
In a such way I don’t see anymore pain and cry.
And always drops down to my feet.
Everything I touch disappear,
Nothing begins but it is the end.
Everywhere, I look. I contemplate each shade.
I tighten my arms to grab it but close up my hands
On the cold, the emptiness and the sadness is immense
When I open my eyes, I can’t see a thing anymore.
My legs also give away, and like this,
I approach of the sand and the turquoise
Which surrounds me and sparkles till the infinite.
Blue, blue everywhere on the dark slate.
I would like so much to capture this color, to keep it.
But like others things, it’s running between my fingers
And sliding on the sand to disappear in the immensity
While the horizon is floating everywhere around me.
Azure of the air makes me drunk and intoxicates me like the liquor
Of madness fruits. It firmly settles in me and abounds
The water streams, runs with vigour and floods me
In a such way I don’t see anymore pain and cry.
