There was a video in the social media where an Ukranian woman was having an argument with a Russian soldier.

She gave sunflower seeds to the soldier saying:
"Take these seeds and put them in your pockets. so at least sunflowers will grow when you all lie here."
(Sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine.)
Whatever happens in the coming days, weeks, months or years, is a mystery. It's still a fact that many have lost their lives already and it's all for nothing.
I first tried to capture this in lyrics but I was at a loss of words. But when words fail you, maybe music can deliver the message.

This was gorgeous and melancholy and an elixir for the soul. Thank you for sharing in the Ukraine Thread.

Hauntingly gorgeous and beautifully. Takes me to a place that is mournful and deeply moving. Your touch on the keys delivers so much expression and emotions.

Your music captures well the somber mood of what you described. Such a tragic and sad situation…and unnecessary as you point out. Enjoyed the listen. This is thought provoking.

Oh, this is sweet and sad. I really love the image of the woman giving the soldiers sunflower seeds for their pockets, and I agree with you about the rest.
