Sophie
I am in awe, oh dear Sophie
Of all things done and said
I am one single, wandering thought
In this world’s contemplative head
How do I dare speak all these words?
When facing this vast, capricious Vie
When tempests and storms ravage the waves
Of what worth is one droplet of the sea?
It is bewildering, as I am sure you know
Yet, it takes you almost a gesture to understand
I mustn’t refer to Zola’s Labyrinthe
To explain to you how it is on this part of land
I am in awe, oh dear Sophie
Of how distance, at times, can be undone
It takes a thought to simplify a world
And above so many, you are one.
