Baton

1 Kings 15:24-  "Then Asa rested with his ancestors and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king."

Hand passes baton
Race not about runners
An objective not at odds
To something further than singular
It is about the passing
Dedicated motion
Maintaining of
Exchange at maximum speed
Invigorating something else
Notion of familial
Virtues vested
In a completement
Of the passing on
And a carrying of values
So well learned
From another before
And His trust given
Rewards of a relay
Are plural
With an instinctual handing off
Of Faith
In a mentor before

My father was an avid runner, and knew the value of teamwork. This is something I will always be thankful for, amongst the many lessons he taught.

sur mon dos

moi j'aime être coucher dans l'herbage
ça demange un peu
je regarde le ciel
pas besoin de lunettes de soleil
il y a des animaux dans les nuages
une vache, une sauterelle, un éléphant
ils grandissent et ils deminuent
avant qu'ils disparaissent completement
et me rends melancolique

j'aime ce sentiment

Inspired by several songs of the french band Les Elles. French is my 3rd language, so I'm sure I made some mistakes. I like it, and it was one of those things that came almost automatically.
It's about lying on your back in the grass, during a summer day, watching the clouds, and trying to find shapes that look like animals. It's basically a memory from when I was 8 years old or something. The poem is somewhat happy, but melancholic as well.
