Ballade cosmique

Lorenz

Limbo wanderer 

filled with this cold blue light 

like a flame in the deep ether

of a cosmic memory ,

fleeting anima's face ,

telling me the legend 

of Saturne rings .

 Glass shattered 

 by long forgotten passions...

 I am that adventurer in reveries

traveler in silences adorned 

with childlike harmonies,

who live in some Mozart symphonies

or the frenzy of an american in Paris...

 The people below do not question

on the run of the clouds 

and the melody of the rain .

They feel moody ,while waiting 

for the last train ...

  Poet,you're that street conjurer ,

a bit counterfeiter ,

embarking on a journey 

with no departure ...

 Old fool who believes 

in the ambiguous message 

of seductive moons ...

 child of  Mercury  ,

prince of neptune  ,

hybrid plant of the century...

I was conceived  

in the solitary dream 

of a prelude for languid satyrs...

The people below ,

wake up to bleak mornings.

Distracted witnesses 

to a storylying  

where Jehovah is just passing by...

Comforting themselves 

with the illusions of a night 

when they will longer fall asleep ...

  So who knows ?

Will they be touched by the light

 and become poets ?

          The poem blends physical universe with the inner landscape of memory and emotions...
          Its romantic tone reminds me the poets - Rilke and Bauldelaire...
          Wonderful write about the vast universe and tiny soul..
          Magnum opus !.

            Learn to see rain as music.
            And everyday life as a myth.
            Thus you will become a poet .
