To Be Followed 5 Ending

On the tides of words,
The eyes too light,
In the running of zebras,
I’m looking for it,

Under the wool, night dreams,
On the precious jewels,
The faces without worries,
I’m still looking for it,

On the torn heart,
By the Mayan treasures,
On the sleeping sun,
I’m looking for it,

In my nervous city,
In the fields of olive trees,
On the softened glass,
I’m looking for it,

In the bed of sources,
On the stopped trains,
On the docile clocks,
In the riddles of heaven,
I find it,
The happiness you’re running from.





Sur les marées de mots,
Les yeux trop légers,
Dans la course des zèbres,
Je le cherche,

Sous la laine, rêves nocturnes,
Sur les bijoux précieux,
Les visages sans soucis,
Je le cherche encore,

Sur le cœur arraché,
Par les trésors mayas,
Sur le soleil qui dort,
Je le cherche,

Dans ma ville nerveuse,
Dans les champs d’oliviers,
Sur le verre adouci,
Je le cherche,

Dans le lit des sources,
Dans les trains arrêtés,
Sur les horloges dociles,
Dans les énigmes du ciel,,
Je le trouve,
Le bonheur que vous fuyez.

Ahh at last I am seeing the final part I never saw yet. Great ending for the entire set. It's difficult for me to find a poem of yours I haven't commented to. May be time to just start rereading from the start!

Hello yann. I read 3 and 4 but saved comment for the end. Very nice imagery throughout. A sense of building desperation that you wonderfully juxtaposed with simply finding happiness. But I suppose happiness isn't always so simple to find. If I understood the last line correctly, the happiness wasn't yours, but another's. I'm glad you found it for them, and hope they stop fleeing from it. Thanks
