When the August sky is deep
and clear
Joshua Trees stay awake all Night.
They stand up straight and silent
like serene and wise
Desert stargazers,
and if you can hear their heart beating
they will teach you how to see
with your eyes closed
the Perseid meteor shower.

I dreamed I woke up
and you were by my side.
I found you,
you simply said.
What a sweet
and beautiful dream!
What a clear
and wonderful Night!
The shutters were closed,
the rain had stopped,
everything was so quiet.
The curtains moved gently.
You left, I supposed,
then the garden shone
so strangely
under the Silver Stars.

we are not
fireflies
dreaming they are
stars
we are
stars
believing they only are
fireflies

nous ne sommes pas
des lucioles
rêvant d’être
des étoiles
nous sommes
des étoiles
qui croient n’être que
des lucioles
