The whirlwind of life

Every late afternoon
I was visiting this vast meadow,
drinking nectar over and over again.

One evening, carried by a gust of Autan,
I found myself propelled in an instant
on the chalice of a mysterious plant.

This flower evoking other scents
and spinning with a certain slowness
seemed to be full of new tastes.

Driven by curiosity, I decided
to approach me and then taste
this nectar a priori from other countries.

Soon, a gentle intimacy is established
between us. A deep trouble grips me:
« Who are you, to move me like that? »

« I am the one who secretes the appropriate nectar
to your species. Life had separated us.
The Autan has finally brought us closer together! »
