The night of the giants

Old man lying on the reddish  earth 

of the extinct volcano 

suffocating  by its fury .

 tropical night disturbed by the chant 

of invisible creatures that carry 

the soul of the ancestors...

In communion with the divine multitudes ,

I try to make sens of  the enigma ...

  This unattainable which is ours ,

rekindles the  pain ... 

forever gripped by this nostalgia...

  Does the void have any coherence ?

Let\'s find the answer in the silence ?

  the cosmos is a terrifying blank page

where we desesperately search

for the light of our shadow...

  We hope to find meaning  in the dust of time .

but can it question its own origins  

without misleading  us ?

  The stars do not shine to guide us spiritually.

We look at them and they don\'t see us ...

 They are preparing for a death so far  off 

that no generation will mourn it...

 Nameless traveler ,your  inspired compass

now points only to the north of an imaginary space...

Amid the ruins of an universe  

that is constantly  collapsing ,

the old child ,always in awe ,fall asleep,

lying on the ochre earth of the dormant volcano

that has come to understand 

 the futility of its rage ...

  A distant  star watches over the blind  giants 

who know the secret script of destiny...

    ------------------------

.  Te atua mate ai tatou 

e ora mau tatau.

  Te vai te matau

 Te  henua te kahu .

Te hetu\'u to ma\'atau vaka...

 ---------------

the gods kill us 

we\'re still alive .

The sea is our mother .

The earth is our cradle .

The stars our canoe ...
