The deaths prefer the sun in their graves burnt by marble the heat sometimes wakes them and caresses their children’s grass, They are alone but do not tremble and the ground which listens to them as a mother in her arms calm down the sweetness of their doubts, The deaths prefer stones to the evidences of the life, they feel the steps of the alive above the heads and smile, They know every hour which cried out the patience of trees in their graves burnt by boredom the deaths also prefer forgetting.

Yann, this is very beautiful, sensitive and touching, with a very unique angle and interesting detail. It took me 2 readings to understand it, but I enjoy puzzling out the meaning of a poem. I was sorry you didn’t have it in French as well, though. Owl |

thanks everybody for reading and commenting, I appreciate a lot, Diana I post the french version, yann Les morts préfèrent le soleil dans leurs tombes gravées de marbre la chaleur parfois les réveille et caresse leurs cœurs d’enfants, Ils sont seuls mais ne tremblent pas et la terre qui les écoute comme une mère dans ses bras calme la douceur de leurs doutes, les morts préfèrent les pierres aux évidences de la vie, ils sentent les pas des vivants au dessus de leurs têtes et sourient, Ils connaissent toutes les heures qui ont clamées la patience des arbres dans leurs tombes gravées d’ennui les morts préfèrent encore l’oubli. |

Yann, ton poème en anglais était merveilleux – mmmmmmmmmmais en français, c’était incroyable! Je l’ai lu à haute voix et il est comme le murmure mystérieux du vent. Il m’a fait penser à la poésie d’Alphonse de Lamartine, et j’aime tellement sa poésie. Ce n’est pas la première fois que ta poésie chuchote pour moi la voix de Lamartine. Owl |

Your gentle exploring of the dead's emotions is deeply captivating, dear Yann. Your write holds light and does not take into consideration the dark sides of our vision of death. You wrote a profoundly beautiful poem which will linger in my mind for its delicacy. Love, Margherita |
