D ' UN POINT A UN AUTRE
Elle allait droit d ' un point à un autre ,
Cette grosse araignée
Traversant le trottoir quand j ' arrivais
L ' autre nuit .
J ' eus juste le temps de m ' arrêter
Pour ne pas l ' écraser
Et de la regarder
En droite ligne filer
D ' un point à un autre ,
Vivante .

FROM A POINT TO ANOTHER .
It went straight from a point to another ,
This big spider
Crossing my way on the sidewalk
Last night .
I stopped just right
and didn' t not crush it .
I had just time to see it
Rushing straight away
From a point to another ,
Alive .

Appreciation for all of nature. Each one of us serves a purpose in the greater scheme of life...filling a necessary role that impacts us all. Merci!
