FOR LITTLE SOULS

Oh, Little souls.
Just born...Just died...
Who could be so cuel
To steal your smile..

Oh, Little souls..
Little hearts..
Who was so cuel
To steal your dreams...

People are strange
They gave the children
darkness instead of playing
And joy...

Maybe you will existe again,
like small beautiful flowers..

Oh no, it's so hard to stand
Oh no, it's so hard to know
That you are here no more
That you are here no more...

Gorazde, 09.11.1993

Who was so cruel
To destroy,
All that you had
IIn your chests

Oh, Little souls,
I hope that you will be born
Again in the space...
Maybe like small, beautiful birds...

That sky  and the stars will give you
The kiss,
Instead of mothers'...

I HAD A TREE ..

I had a tree
My friend...
It lived at the end
of my street
I didn't know that
I loved
Its arms couloured
In green
Ididn't know  that
Its soul
Was part of my life
And me..

I had a tree
My friend...
IIt bore singing birds
In it soul
I loved itT
But didn't know..
Until the war has come
And we remained
Alone..

I had a tree
My friend...
When the war came
We met,
Like for the first time..
Ii didn't ask me
Where was my smile
It didn't ask me
Where were my friends

It knew
It was war
And time
When everything
Fades and ends..

I had a tree
My friend...
When the war came
We met,
We fett each others' hearts..
I didn't ask it
Where its arms
I didn't ask it
Where were its birds

I couln't help it
To survive harms
We bozh remained
Without springs...

I had a tree
My friend...
It lived at the end
Of my street
I left, but even
Away, I meet
It's sadness in me..
