Poème de l'âme (16) : Le Vol de l’âme
in the public domain in the United States
How many ways are there to feel your soul pass through mine
I balance you on the tip of my heart sometimes
just to see your face as I recall it when you were small
and still your sweet voice sweeps through me when I least expect it
a tumult in my eyes
brings me to my knees
I look at pictures of other children and still see you
in your wildness
and in your strength.
may it always be so
