THE BRIDGE OF PEACE AND LOVE

The Bridge of Peace and Love

No land or sea would ever be so vast

To prevent us, my dear brother, my caring sister,

From building the blessed by heavens bridge of peace and love 

That humanity for centuries now yearns to construct 

So as, after so many millennia of painful separation,

Able we to be,  into each other's arms to throw!*

*Dedicated to the young girl, Niranjana, from India who recited my poem: " We Are Brothers II" in a school youth festival on peace where she won the first prize. This news item was published in today's newspaper "Deshabhimani" in the Malayalam language from Kerala. It says, "Between Demetrios and Niranjana there are several seas, continents, but only one sky."
