Living with his lady and her sons and daughters,
Living with the era of isolation of the day,
Brewing his next book and novels,
Occasionally pulling a guitar,
Facing the blue Mediterranean singing alone.

But there is fate to hear and see his poetry, can be his comfort.
Let us cherish him quietly in this noisy day today,
Listen to a song by him,
