For the 10 years anniversary of the disappearance of her brother Jean-Luc Hamlet (former First Deputy Mayor), Jessica Hamlet, her parents, sisters, brother and all her family wish to pay tribute to her by publishing this written poem by Ernest Pépin, Guadeloupe writer.
Ten years
My brother
You left ten years ago
From
The sun is no longer round
He always stutters a little
Ten years that its light
Confuses day and night
Ten years that we struggle
At the top of the gloomy memories
Because your memory is still there
Present
Living
Ardente
Sometimes you think of your parents
Bereaved
Calcined
In the nets of sorrow
They are present in Saint Martin
For you
With you
Standing
Among the song of the waves
The crazy heat of the wind
The immortal duration of hope
Do you see the island does not die
She resists
She struggles
It endures despite what it endures
It's already been ten years
Ten years of sand casting
Ten years of lost seashells
Ten years of miraculous waiting
But we all know
That if you take root in death
It's to better support life
Sleep in peace
Those who love you watch over you
At the source of the stars
Ernest Pepin
