I shall rest upon your heart

René Bernier

I shall rest upon your heart

Like the spring upon the sea,

On the plains of the sterile sea

Where no flower can ever grow,

With its agile breaths,

Like flowers of light.

I shall rest upon your heart,

Like the bird upon the sea,

Resting its weary wings,

And cradling the eternal rhythm

Of waves and of space.

I shall rest upon your heart

Like the spring upon the sea.
