Être [English translation]

TO BE (BEING)

To be, the revival of my birth

In the dawn of the chalk

under the Blood moon

at the end of a dying winter

To be, emerging from the silence

seeing the brightness of the sun

the frosts of my heart

foretelling of a better spring

To be, the fruit and the seed

inside a depleted soil

flourishing in exile

like a tree bursting in April

To be, learning to know me

keeping eyes wide open

and nothing but being just a flesh

For loving until death

and beyond, may be!

To be, soul separating from the body

for loving until death

same "may be" still.

To be, the voices of my castaways

the verb "re-find again"

washed off all faults

exhausting the road of expressions

To be, to avoid blackmailing

common place

extinguishing my volcano of angers

to subdue and straddle my times

To be, the gesture who engages

the future of re-thinking

the architect of return

Simply said, the ritual of the Love.

To be, dying for a better re-birth

The lies of the former days

and to be not more being

Living is To be....

For dying until death

and beyond, may be!

To be, soul separating from the body

for loving until death

same "may be" still.
