to live in Plougastel

I don’t know if owning a beautiful home, Facing the sea, makes happy, There are people who do not manage their thoughts, And that makes them dangerous, There are people who are convinced That the Eiffel Tower is the center of the world, And this makes them toxic, I don’t know if going with a friend on a fishing boat Makes happy, There are people who do not know how to admire a sunset And that makes them dangerous, I don’t know if painting Breton watercolors, Makes happy, There are people who can’t dream, And this makes them toxic, There are people who cannot stand the silence of heaven, And that makes them dangerous, Living at the Tinduff, perhaps helps to understand this, To gather before the sea, to face the cloud of happy fools, To take possession of the castle of the setting suns, To reopen the sacred book of landscapes. Je ne sais pas si de posséder une magnifique maison, Face à la mer, rend heureux, Il y a des gens qui ne gèrent pas leurs pensées, Et cela les rend dangereux, Il y a des gens qui sont persuadés Que la tour Eiffel est le centre du monde, Et cela les rend toxiques, Je ne sais pas si partir avec un ami, sur un bateau de pêche Rend heureux, Il y a des gens qui ne savent pas admirer un coucher de soleil Et cela les rend dangereux, Je ne sais pas si peindre des aquarelles bretonnes, Rend heureux, Il y a des gens qui ne savent pas rêver, Et cela les rend toxiques, Il y a des gens qui ne supportent pas le silence du ciel, Et cela les rend dangereux, Habiter au Tinduff, permet peut être de comprendre cela, De se recueillir face à la mer, pour affronter la nuée des imbéciles heureux, De reprendre possession du château des soleils couchants, De rouvrir en grand le livre sacré des paysages.

- I couldn't be happy in a gray concrete city ... I find happiness in nature - I love the silence ... the sunrise, the sunset, the view and your poem, Yann :) - hugs

"To take possession of the castle" I had to consider it's worth and it was worth it. the lines compose a few errors that some have. And we can only discribe them as you did here. In a way they are also castles.

A deep poem but we have to accept some things that we do not prefer. For example, I love both sunrise and sunsets. To each his own, but mostly I agree with you.

A powerful though provoking poem, my friend. The world is too full of toxic and dangerous people.
