In all the languages we humans speak
There are no words to describe how I feel
Not in English nor French nor even Greek,
I have a sadness that time cannot heal.
...
I walked along the lonely shore
Listening to the sound of waves
A gentle reassuring roar
Which echoed in the nearby caves
...
I heard a man had taken his own life.
I did not know this man but I was sad
To hear the news; it cut me like a knife.
I wondered what was so terribly bad
...
My laptop screen has got a spot
It’s black and tiny but it’s there
It’s only a little black dot
But it’s driving me to despair
...
The last winter snow
Clings to life although it knows
It’s time to let go
...
Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy
Kyrie eleison Kyrie eleison
Lord have mercy Lord have mercy
...
O bring back Zeus
And all the rest
I do deduce
He was the best
...
Oh angels, come and watch over this child
And take him far away to lands where sleep
Cajoles each child to quit his play and wild
Activity and lulls them into deep
...
