Que dire d’un Monde sans Amour ? poetry Book
French and English version
What can be said of a world without Love?
How to answer such a question
when this purest and most beautiful of emotions
is like a sun that illuminates with its rays
the way we see
all that surrounds us, all that summons up
the tenderness we shower on childhood
and makes stars sparkle as night falls?
How to answer such a question
when one has understood that love
can be revealed by the grace of a poet’s words,
by the magic in gestures we
would like to believe are eternal?
How not to weep
when it fades – because nothing endures
if we do not work to transmit it
to others, to those dear to us?
