Destiny

Flowers
Red and blue
Blossom towards the sea.
They know their destiny
Of ephemeral light:
To die in a storm.
Thus
I would like
To die in your arms.


Destin

Des fleurs
Rouges et bleues
Fleurissent vers la mer.
Elles connaissent leur destin
De lumière éphémère:
Mourir dans un orage.
Ainsi
Je mourrais
Dans tes bras.
