#4256 poetry

photo: Pink Lake, Gatineau Park, this lake is named after a family who lived there, it is usually green, but the play of light has given it a pinkish hue.

Ah! I recognize that one

that little voice

that seeps into my day

and carries me back to the day before yesterday

even much further back

into bitter stories

while all I want, really,

just to lose myself in the reflection of the clear waters

4256 poesie

photo: Lac Pink, Parc Gatineau, ce lac doit son nom à une famille qui y a vécu, il est habituellement vert, mais les jeux de lumière lui ont donné une teinte rosée.

Ah ! Je la reconnais, celle-là.

cette petite voix

qui s’immisce dans ma journée

et m’entraîne vers avant-hier

même bien plus loin en arrière

dans des histoires amères

quand tout ce que je veux,

c’est me perdre dans le reflet des eaux claires

photo: Otago peninsula, one is never very far from the sea.

I love water in every shape or forms : streams, rivers, lakes

ponds (and water lilies), the sea, the shore, the beach, the rocks by the water, the sound of running water, having a bath (when there is a bath), showers, I like to go to the pool, the spa. I wish I could surf, but I will never go in a submarine, nor will I scuba dive.
