Whispers of the fearful,
Hearts ache under the world's weight,
Hope finds strength in verse.
Beneath despair's weight,
In wars of words and silent nights,
Fragile hope endures.
Mountain and man stand
silent beneath the turning stars—
wind through lonely pines.
"Banana Man" strolls,
Yellow peel catches the sun,
Street's laughter, a dance.
Grateful hearts uplift,
Kind wisdom flows like morning dew,
Teacher's love eternal.
