Poem
The shadow of a tree has fallen on the morning garden. It moves with slow steps and leaves its trail of frost, as if it were telling the time as the day progresses. The grasses, freed from its embrace sing a little further away their silence, straightening up as the light returns. The melody of the wind rises, wakes the inhabitants of the place. You can see the blue tit fluttering between the branches that have not yet sprouted leaves. It has left its shelter under a corner of the roof to find some insect that dares to crawl, still asleep, on the ground. That's it: the ice background has just broken; with the curve of the day. the first roses with petals still closed, awake, greeting the sun, reflected in little stars on the dewdrops. The shadow of the tree has shrunk and no longer frightens anyone. -- ( at first written in french )... see below... -- L’ombre d’un arbre s'est posée sur le jardin du matin. Elle se déplace à pas lents et laisse sa trace de givre, comme si elle indiquait l'heure avec la progression du jour. Les herbes libérées de son étreinte chantent un peu plus loin leur silence , se redressent quand la lumière fait son retour. La mélodie du vent s'élève, réveille les habitants les lieux. On voit la mésange bleue voleter entre les branches qui n'ont pas encore de feuilles. Elle a quitté son abri sous un recoin du toit pour venir dénicher quelque insecte qui se risque à ramper, encore endormi, sur la terre. Ca y est: le décor de glace vient de se lever; avec la courbe du jour. les premières roses aux pétales encore clos s'éveillent, saluent le soleil, qui se reflète en petites étoiles sur les gouttes de rosée. L'ombre de l'arbre s'est rétrécie et ne fait plus peur à personne.
