Afloat (Sur l'eau)

In this lyrical diary, a solitary traveler records the slow, sun‑kissed mornings and moonlit nights of a Mediterranean cruise. The pages are filled with vivid sketches of gentle waves, distant lighthouses, and the sleepy ports of Nice, Antibes and Villefranche, each rendered with a poet’s eye for colour and light. The narrator’s thoughts drift like the tide—quiet reveries sparked by the rocking of the boat and the crisp, salty air.

As the yacht slips out of the harbor, the narrative captures the subtle choreography of sail, wind, and water, describing the vessel as a ghost gliding over violet‑tinged seas. Small details—candles trembling like compasses, the distant Angelus bells, the first rose‑colored glimmer on the horizon—create an intimate portrait of a world awakening. The work invites listeners to share the calm exhilaration of being adrift, where every sunrise feels like a secret waiting to be noticed.
