soothes a longing pain

sending a chord fresh and cool

that hums through the soul."

through a forest wilderness."

"I greeted you one morning, 

As I saw your face smiling,

Let me kiss your fragrance, 

That I can go into a trance

Of contented forgetfulness 

From ephemeral greatness."

- AV Rotor

But I have promises to keep, 

and miles to go before I sleep."

you talk my language in cartoon;

Benevolent you’ve always been, you nurtured your children,

Birthplace of a city, a university and museum you built,

     Living symbols to great leaders.

if one day the water of the sea is not enough,
