I travelled all the way here in the humus
I drink of the nourishing, amniotic juice of the soil
I'm unfolding in it, little by little
Soon I will take root and cling like a mighty vine
And already I'm rising from the ground and blooming
Gathering up the air and shouting out to the peaks of my ancestors
Here I am, among my own kind
Rooted, my arms reach for the sky
The rhythm of the adagio carries me through the seasons, the rains and the tempests
A never-ending music to which my body and limbs freeze
But towards the light I must rise
Mother, Earth, release me ! Cut my vine !
The storm broke my trunk, blowing me on its dizzying journey
I have crossed so many wondrous roads
Flying over the forests of my fellow creatures and the great shimmering lochs
And ever since then I've been following my path, carried on the living waters
An everlasting roar of foaming rapids splashes my face and my shaking limbs
My drifting wooden body begs for a truce
Water, release me ! Let me rest !
You are talking about being freed, you beg the river to extract you from these streams
Is your mind so obscured that it can't see the shape that these perpetual flows gave me ?
I must admit that my body may not be the most attractive
It no longer even looks like what I really am
It faded away, rigid, static, darkened and icy
Because I am a descendant of these mountainous heights, magmatic and rocky
A worthy successor, watching over his kingdom
All these years as proud as a guardian, even more frozen in the ground than candles in the sky
I am a landmark for the moon and the sun
Permanently stuck in a limping motionless, wet and muddy, steep and traversed
Yet I am not drowned in loneliness. Sometimes a dragonfly lands on me
She carols some old folk songs for me with her wings
At dusk, naiads charm owls while swimming into phosphorescent waves
Souls pass by and trample me to cross the torrent, I remain here for them
Then children have fun ricocheting my kind
Today, you came to meet me
In the midst of a turbulence, looking for rest
And I, in my endless lethargy, hunger for life
Life is a star whose glow is you
You are passing by the point
And the point passes me by
Yet, even though I know I am just a numb and stony crossroad,
I want you to take root near me
So I could try to feel
Both the wistfulness of memories being born,
And the delight of an impatience that ignites then perishes forthwith
May my dreams could find the sparkling strength
To grow me legs out of deer antlers and a heart out of bird songs
And one sweet dawn with you, I am sure I will know the meaning of my words
I thought I was uprooted
But fate has guided me to you
Sentinel of the mountains and woods
I'm gripped by you, sliding to the shore
I am born again, by your side
