Tyne Cot

when you left
for the front
you were
living heroes
and now
you are on top
of the hill
where only
poppies
blow..........

Tyne Cot
 
toen jullie 
naar het front
trokken
waren jullie
levende helden
en nu
liggen jullie
op de heuvel
waar alleen
papavers bloeien...

That the poppies may blow forever, and not be blown from the ground by future conflicts explosions...

Welocome to WOL, Mr Thueuninck. I like the presentation of both languages. With this spare style you must enjoy poetic forms such as haiku and tankas.
