Red Poppies Poem by Alain Ilan Braun

Red Poppies

Rating: 5.0


Humanity!
Vast fields of red poppies
Red spots on the wheat’s gold
A few drops of blood
Life rippling under the wind
Our souls, fragrant flowers
In the brief and hot summer
Every day God is bending
And picking a few red blossoms
Until the last moment
Red poppies under life’s wind quivering

Humanité!
Immense champ de coquelicots
Taches rouges sur l’or des blés
Quelques gouttes de sang
La vie ondulant sous le vent
Nos âmes, des fleurs embaumant
Dans l’été bref et brûlant
Chaque jour, Dieu se baissant
Et quelques corolles rouges, cueillant
Jusqu’au dernier instant
Les coquelicots au vent de la vie frémissant

Translated from the original French by the author (Coquelicots)

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Beautiful imagery and deep I love red poppies their life is short but filled with beauty, is our life the same? Who knows what means a human's life for the Universe? I would love (when my time comes) to be picked with love and smiles as sweet as your poem's god picked the flowers. Thank you!
