human things

Human things
Are very tiring,
Pays homage to granite,
Welcomes the warmth
Of the sun that turns,
Welcomes the silence
On the pretty cemetery,

Human things
Are very tiring,
ignore young girls,
And the beautiful alexandrins,
ignores young men
The transparent glass
Filled it with cognac,

Get drunk, more often,
Of the beauty of the world,
human things
Are very tiring, 
Welcome the sun
On your skin, quietly,
The birds are bright,
Human things
Are tiring,


Behold the primrose,
The golden sprig, the daffodil,
Love the silence,
Love the pink granite,
hear my deaf prayer,
Human things
Are very tiring,
Admire the primroses.

This brings tears to my eyes, mystified misty eyed, yes human things can be so tiring-what we want and what we cannot have is frustrating, beautiful things are frustrating, yet we love them so. God listens they say. ~

Dear Yann, what a quiet weight, like footsteps on ancient stone. There’s exhaustion in it, yes, but also reverence for warmth, for silence, for things that outlast us. I love how it feels like a deep breath, a moment of stillness in a restless world. Beautifully done. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Human beings can be so boring at times. But Nature and the beautiful sights there can never be tiring. Rightly said, dear Yaan.

Human things are very tiring, the clang of this refrain, as homage is paid to the warmth of the sun, primrose, golden sprig, the daffodil, the pink granite… young girls, beautiful alexendrins, getting drunk on cognac…so many thoughts!
