Le chat


Le Chat

I

Dans ma cervelle se promène,
Ainsi qu'en son appartement,
Un beau chat, fort, doux et charmant.
Quand il miaule, on l'entend à peine,


Tant son timbre est tendre et discret;
Mais que sa voix s'apaise ou gronde,
Elle est toujours riche et profonde.
C'est là son charme et son secret.


Cette voix, qui perle et qui filtre
Dans mon fonds le plus ténébreux,
Me remplit comme un vers nombreux
Et me réjouit comme un philtre.


Elle endort les plus cruels maux
Et contient toutes les extases;
Pour dire les plus longues phrases,
Elle n'a pas besoin de mots.


Non, il n'est pas d'archet qui morde
Sur mon cœur, parfait instrument,
Et fasse plus royalement
Chanter sa plus vibrante corde,

Que ta voix, chat mystérieux,
Chat séraphique, chat étrange,
En qui tout est, comme en un ange,
Aussi subtil qu'harmonieux!


Ch. Baudelaire, Les fleurs du mal

Petite fille à la licorne

 La Couvertoirade

Was she thinking?
Was she dreaming?
Was she looking at something I could not see?
Was she hearing the sound of the music playing?
Was she even there ...?

Mirror



My soul in your eyes
My rapture in your smile
My doubts in your reproaches
My joy in your laughter
My anger in your tears
My days and nights in your footsteps 
That guide me towards the light
Tirelessly ever

asato ma sadgamaya
tamaso ma jyotirgamaya

Lead me from the asat to the sat.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.

Om nama shivaya Om

On the way to Pulga


Pulga, from Boom Shankar Guest House.
                                         
There is no boundary no edge
It could be heaven
It could be hell 
Or some other  impenetrable place
 Lost in space and time
 I could just cross the mirror
I could just disappear without a trace
I could just slip away anonymously
Who would know?
 
Anything is possible, anything is feasible, anything is achievable
It is just a matter of dedication and of persistence
If the motives are based on love
If they are true
Then, there is simply nothing that can not be completed
 

The voice comes from beyond
It is the air and the wind whispering 
It is the sky and the clouds breathing
It is the trees and the earth muttering

The voice tells me that I am about to heal
It is time to believe

The voice also comes from inside
It is the voice of my soul
Time has come to pray
Time has come to thank the Universe
Time has come to accept the magnificent gift of life
To cherish and to nourish it
Time has come to blossom
