Ascension Sous une brume matinale je vagabonde les rivages des souvenirs à la recherche du passé dans les lits de rivières desséchées vestiges de jours écoulés. La vie nous dirige vers plusieurs sentiers périlleux les idées enflammées de souffrance en attente d’une deuxième renaissance. Affranchi des chaines en chair et esprit convoitant la proximité de l’être cher qui habite le palais au-delà des cieux. Hissé envers la luminosité ultraviolette libéré de soi. -traduction * * * Original poem written by Essama Chiba: Lifted Up In the morning mist I stroll on shorelines Of memories Searching for the past In dry river beds Of yesterdays. Life takes us down Many paths near the edge Mind afire in burning pain Waiting for a second birth. Emancipated from both Flesh and spirit Longing for closeness Of a devotee that resides In the mansion of the sky. Lifted up in the luminosity Of violet light freed from self. -Essama Chiba AP: 2nd place 2021 (for my translation)
