2 Poems & 5 Photos by Fabrice Poussin

Chest of all riches 

Vagabond on unwritten paths

He saunters heavy leaden.


Facing high blizzards in rags

He might be an errant ghost.


On a journey begun within deep darkness

In search of stars he holds a sacred light

within a chest sized for a grandest myth.


Haggard beneath the weight of a thousand

Dreams broken under the yoke of fears

A step yet ahead he dares not raise a gaze.


Another horizon has come to meet the gait

Of this traveler in search of a common destiny.


Another sun will set this eve against the silhouette

So strange and a heaving breast will sigh once more.


There lies his hope gently awaiting

the soft kiss Upon a virgin brow.


The cask is heavy with the treasures amassed and

will be opened at last at the feet of the muse

Offering of a life’s quest to honor its precious source.



Touching to a shiver


The invisible wand makes a spark in the realm

giving life to a satin inch so long in slumber.


It is a task for the tireless magician

a promise he made on the sacred day

to warm the dying soul.


Sadness is conquered at the gentle approach

of a single intent stated in warm silence.


A granite memory awakens to a new dawn

under the silky cloth of a grand new life

limbs softly bend in a subtle giggle.


He writes another word upon the parchment

for the story to begin again and her sorrow

to melt away in the heat of eternal sunshine.
