Air Vif Poem by Paul Eluard

Air Vif

Rating: 2.9


I looked in front of me
In the crowd I saw you
Among the wheat I saw you
Beneath a tree I saw you

At the end of my journeys
In the depths of my torment
At the corner of every smile
Emerging from water and fire

Summer and winter I saw you
All through my house I saw you
In my arms I saw you
In my dreams I saw you

I will never leave you.

In my arms I saw you In my dreams I saw you I will never leave you........................................ Dear poet lives yet so long to the heart of so many readers. Emotional, lucid but with childish sacredness the poem strings quiet soft melody.

The poem is a joy to read and has a mystic air from beginning to the end like you find in a Sufi writing. Thanks for sharing.
