Quand il me prend d'être haute merAux grandes
lunes d'équinoxeEt que je viens battre vos terresDe
brumes et de paradoxes,Je peux abattre le château,Je
peux éteindre le volcan,Quand je suis vent qui
vient de l'eauEt que mes eaux valsent au
vent.Quand je deviens haute merAux grandes lunes d'équinoxe,Quittez
vos châteaux et vos terresEt mettez vos habits
de noce.Marchant au-devant de mes eaux,Avancez-vous dans ma
lumièreEt faites-vous plus beaux que beauxPour épouser la
haute merEt qu'un grand goéland,Aux lunes rousses de
l'automne,Pour nos noces d'argent,Joue dans le glas qui
sonneMais quand je suis à marée basse,Au grand
soleil de la Saint-JeanEt que mes grandes eaux
se lassentEt que se sont couchés mes vents,Quand
j'ai le cœur à marée basse,Rendez-moi le rire
de mes enfants.Les cerfs-volants au vent qui passeEt
mes rêves de sable blancEt je resterai mer
étale,Entre équinoxe et Saint-Simon.Je vous rendrai vos soleils
pâles,Mais laissez-moi mes goémons...
