To Fight Another Day ...


Their shouts remain

as hope reclaimed

the smoke still 

on the beach

 

The roars that hide

of those who died

yet heard

within the breach

 

A spirit roams  

within the bones

of men

who went beyond

 

In freedom’s quest

to give their best

in times

— forever long 

 

(Operation Dynamo - Dunkirk, 1940: February, 2025)
