What is Life Opportunistic run, given sun, once but dream, tender thought. Still runs the stream, all for naught. Lo the coming of morn, robin breaks fast the lawn, someone must, then dies; rosy once this thorn, thin now its disguise. Were all thoughts thus unfound? Where in silence is the sound? Once the lust was but a crave. Was it I who once abound? Lonely comes the grave. Simple disguise, take this mask that be; my eyes less vanity. As all surprise would undergo, that which be held "prize" this I truly know, only birds fill skies. |

"Were all thoughts thus unfound? Where in silence is the sound? Once the lust was but a crave. Was it I who once abound? Lonely comes the grave." This is a pure delight to read "Lonely comes the grave" This is the kind of phrase that stays in your memory A wonderful write Liz |
