The search for peace Is a long hard road Chasms of exhaustion Mountains That touch the sky Walk Pffft, rather trudge, their ranges If you dare Striving to ascertain the intangible high Of peace Certainty But up a mountainside in my mind one day There was a window in the rock I peered through And […]
La pioggia stilla The rain drips|trickles … La pioggia scivola The rain slides|glides … La pioggia cade lieve The rain falls softly ….
