Poppies

August 31, 2015 by Shawn D. Standfast

Poppy Tanka

Pausing in honour
On a field of memory
Past voices whisper
Poignant melodies cry out
Yesteryears echo through time

Echoing Through Time

Lost Voices

Blood red poppies grow
In memory of lost voices
Gone but never silent
A mournful melody
Echoing through time
