There I lay,
waiting patiently for this day...

The sounds of the night were soothing.
But fear overwhelmed me as the shadows were...

When I look up at the stars, so bright,
I see your face and it lights up the night...

DEDICATED TO MY GRANDFATHER, GEORGE A. MAVROUDIS
Everything is so beautiful in this field...

My heart burns,
as the Earth turns...

My heart beats faster and faster,
my breath keeps on getting shorter and shorter...

My eyes start to sparkle like stars...
my face turns red, like Mars...
