Listen to poem:

L’inconscience de la Nuit

Wild shadow, you hold me in your embrace
Apollo of the universe, infinity overwhelms me
I hear the clinking of wandering waves
The back-and-forth motion of life’s pulsations.

Unaware, I dive into a black hole, moved
I surrender my soul, soothed, in love
In love as never before with an unknown world
The silent path of gentle, cherished values.

I vibrate with the harmony of dreamed sounds.
Elegant notes rise toward the sky
Tulip petals with broken bells
Life’s songs carry essential tones.

Deep silence, you capture a trembling shift
Without a doubt, a note — light of absence.
Relief of the spirit at the gates of time
The awakening of the Night is a rebirth.

Joël Charvillat.
