Pool of Peace ⎪ De Westhoek

De Pool of Peace is een krater die is ontstaan door een bombardement in de Eerste Wereldoorlog. De bom is een aantal seconden later ontploft dan de vele andere, maar helaas heeft niemand kunnen ontsnappen. Shushanik schreef er een gedicht over.

Every night I listened to see if you were asleep

I didn't want to hear a beep

Then I crept up to you, like a hunter for its prey

It was a pleasing fray

There I was, waiting for you.

I had been trying this for months to pursue

Seconds later you walked out and I was finally able to embrace you

Finally, only us two

Now lie down, close your eyes and sleep tight

It will be a long night

Do not fear

I am with you

Together in the pool of peace
